Prospective study of urinary function and analysis of risk factors after rectal cancer surgery

ConclusionsOur study showed worsening urinary dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery in 26.4% of the patients. However, there were no statistically significant differences in mean IPSS scores at the three assessment times (preoperatively, 6  months, 12 months). ASA class, surgical difficulty, and anastomotic leakage may predict postoperative deterioration.
