Figure 1: Recurrence-free survival curve of curatively operated patients
Kaplan-Meier recurrence-free survival analysis for patients with rectal cancer who underwent CAA (R0-resections).
Figure 2: Cumulative survival curve of all patients with rectal cancer
Kaplan-Meier curves illustrate the expected difference in survival rates between patients with low-grade tumors (i.s.Ca., Dukes
A and B) and those with high-grade tumors (Dukes C and D). This was confirmed by log-rank testing(p=0.0004).
Complications at the anastom osis
After 24 of the 59 operations, either a necrosis of the pulled-through colon or an insufficiency of the anastomosis occurred(40.7%). None of the patients with fistulae experienced anastomotic insufficiency or necrosis, whereas the rate of these
complications in patients of with carcinomas was 51.3% (Table 2).
