Brief Summary:
Aim of this study is to compare the cost-effectiveness and the quality of life in the 6 months following the surgery of a pseudo continent perineal colostomy (PCPC) and a permanent left iliac colostomy (PLIC) following an abdominoperineal resection (APR) for ultra low rectal cancer
Detailed Description:
The surgical treatment of ultra low rectal adenocarcinoma has known great changes, yet the abdominoperineal resection (APR) is still indicated in over 20% of these cases.
A permanent left abdominal stoma is the standard salvage technique.
The pseudo continent perineal colostomy (PCPC) is an alternative technique especially in low income countries where the stoma bag and stoma care is not covered by health insurances.
Furthermore, this technique allows the conservation of body image, which is frequently requested by muslim patients whenever it is possible.
The aim of this study is to compare the cost effectiveness of both techniques as well as the quality of life of patients in the 6 first months following the surgery.
