Abstract
Background: Uncertainty exists regarding importance of lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in advanced low rectal cancer. Our research identified LPLD-related oncological prognosis in studied cases with rectal cancer below peritoneal reflection. Methods: We examined studied cases at Al Haram Hospital who received LPLD between May 2015 and December 2020 & had clinical stage II-III low rectal cancer below peritoneal reflection. Results: there had been no correlation among pelvic LN & colonoscopy & there had been no correlation among pelvic LN & pathology. Conclusion: When compared to entire mesorectal excision alone, lateral pelvic lymph node dissection had not been significantly related with decrease in recurrence rates or enhancement in survival; nevertheless, LPLND had been linked to higher complication rate. Key words: Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection. Local recurrence, Rectal cancer, Surgical strategies, Surgical outcomes, Survival outcomes.
