Long term results are reported on 108 patients treated by curative mechanical anterior resection for midrectum carcinoma. The functional results were good but there was a large number of local recurrences for carcinoma at Dukes C stage (28% of the total cases). Oncological results suggest that greater importance should be given to early diagnosis and to pathogenesis and risk factors for recurrence.
