Abstract

The aim of total anorectal reconstruction after anorectal extirpation is to restore normal physiological function and body image to the greatest extent possible. This chapter outlines the approach toward total anorectal reconstruction in selected patients who have undergone abdominoperineal excision, discussing techniques and outcomes of sphincter substitution and reinforcement procedures.
