Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this present study is to compare functional results and quality of life after sigmoidectomy for diverticulitis and sigmoid cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

Rectal resection surgery can lead to numerous complications in term of gastrointestinal results with onset of fecal incontinence or in contrast constipation, and in term of genitourinary results with occurrence of dysuria, erectile dysfunction, or vaginal dryness. The low anterior resection syndrome is defined by the occurrence after rectal resection, of gastrointestinal symptoms like fecal incontinence or stool evacuation difficulties, which affect quality of life, despite conservation of anal sphincter. This syndrome is now well known and used in many countries. However, there is a lack of data concerning gastrointestinal functional results after sigmoid surgery whether it is for cancer or diverticulitis. Some studies highlighted symptoms persistence in many patients after sigmoidectomy. Lately, the LARS score was used after sigmoidectomy for cancer. This study reveals symptoms of low anterior resection syndrome for 41 % of patients. The correlation between rectal resection and sigmoidectomy could be explain by the resection of the upper part of rectum in case of sigmoidectomy. The issue of genito-urinary disorders after sigmoidectomy are poorly researched. Previous studies demonstrate a higher risk of erectile disorders after pelvic surgery and especially for cancer. Currently, there is a lack of data on functional results and quality of life for patients who are going into sigmoid surgery, whether for cancer or diverticulitis. The aim of this longitudinal study is to compare digestive functional outcome, genitourinary outcomes and quality of life in patients who undergo sigmoid resection for diverticulitis and cancer. ;
