Abstract
Abdominoperineal extirpation has been assumed to put patients at higher risk of disruption to quality of life than sphincter-preserving surgery in rectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate quality of life in patients after anterior resection versus abdominoperineal extirpation for rectal cancer and to evaluate the psychometrics of the Danish version of a symptom-specific Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale.
