The work has been devoted to the improvement of methods of surgical treatment of cancer of the rectum. The possibilities to perform organ-saving operations in treatment of cancer of the rectum are discussed. An analysis of treatment of 351 patients with cancer of the rectum has shown that frontal resection of the rectum is possible in more than 40% of such patients since such interventions save the function of the rectum more completely. New methods of preoperative preparation of the patients are described as well as the application of the improved methods of surgical interventions.
