INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of studies assessing the influence of @entity834 after @entity5 surgery on pelvic organ function and quality of life. METHODS: Between 1995 and 2006, 500 @entity1 underwent rectal resection for @entity5 at a single institution. Thirty-six @entity1 (7.2%) developed an @entity834 postoperatively. Fifteen of these @entity1 (41.6%) died during the follow-up period. A self-administering questionnaire including the International Index of Erectile Function, Female Sexual Function Index, Short Form-12 Health Survey, International Prostatic Symptom Score, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, Vaizey Incontinence Score and Wexner Constipation Score was sent to all 21 alive @entity1 . @entity1 with @entity5 resection without leakage served as controls for each case and were matched by sex, age (  5 years), type of resection, and neoadjuvant therapy (yes/no). RESULTS: Sixteen @entity1 (76.2%) were available and were included in the analysis. The median follow-up time was 106.8 months (32.4-170.4). @entity1241 , @entity1142 , and sexual function did not differ significantly between @entity1 and controls (p = 0.1973, 0.1189, 0.8519, respectively). By contrast, urinary continence was impaired significantly in the leakage group (p = 0.0430) but not in control @entity1 . The Quality of Life assessing Short Form-12 Health Survey reached no significant difference between both groups (p = 1.0000 and 0.1973). CONCLUSION: @entity834 following anterior resection negatively aggravates urinary function but not fecal @entity322 , @entity1142 or sexual functions. The data indicate that @entity1 experiencing @entity834 can be relieved from the fear of gross pelvic floor function disturbances.
