Abstract
Objective: To investigate and analyze the effect of laparoscopic pelvic autonomic nerve-preserving radical resection of rectal cancer on urinary and sexual function. Methods: Cases of laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer in our hospital from April 2018 to April 2023 were selected, and 60 patients who met the requirements were included as research subjects. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a reference group by a doubleblind mechanism, with 30 cases in each group. The experimental group underwent laparoscopic pelvic autonomic radical resection, while the reference group underwent ordinary radical resection. The voiding function, urodynamics, sexual function, and blood indexes of the patients of both groups were compared. Results: The total incidence of voiding dysfunction in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the reference group (P < 0.05). Urodynamics such as abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP), maximum urethral pressure (MUP), maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP), and functional urethral length (FUL) in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). The incidences of erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory dysfunction in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Before the surgery, there were no significant differences in the blood indexes such as C-reactive protein (CRP), cortisol (Cor), and pre-albumin (PA) between the two groups (P > 0.05); after the operation, the blood indexes of the patients in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Laparoscopic pelvic autonomic nerve-preserving radical resection of rectal cancer has lesser effects on urinary and sexual functions.
