[A Case of Laparoscopic Surgery Performed for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Suspected of Invasion to Prostate].

A-58-year-old man was admitted to other hospital with complaints of anal pain and bloody stools, diagnosed as rectal cancer with invasion to prostate, and performed sigmoid colostomy. After taking 6 courses of mFOLFOX6 as preoperative chemotherapy, he introduced our hospital for the purpose of operation. Preoperative evaluation of chemotherapy was PR, but infiltration of the prostate remained. Therefore, laparoscopic abdomino-perineal resection of rectum, prostatectomy and urethral reconstruction by urethral-bladder anastomosis were performed. Postoperative course was good and he was discharged on 10 days after surgery. Currently 2 years after surgery, he has no dysurea and relapse free survival. This procedure was considered to be a very useful technique in that a good operative field and reliable resection can be obtained.
