Sphincter Preservation Surgery

Sphincter Preservation Surgery is a surgical approach primarily used to treat certain cancers, especially in the rectal area. The goal is to remove the tumor while keeping the surrounding sphincter muscles intact, which control bowel movements. By preserving these muscles, patients have a better chance of maintaining normal bowel function post-surgery, reducing the risk of colostomy (where a part of the intestine is redirected to an opening in the abdomen). This type of surgery involves careful planning and advanced techniques, aiming to strike a balance between effective cancer treatment and quality of life.
