Abstract

Abstract:

This case report presents a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and low rectal cancer who underwent radical anterior resection of the rectum, total colectomy, and transverse colonic lengthening. This approach achieved complete tumor resection while avoiding a permanent colostomy and improving postoperative bowel function. The patient initially received a prophylactic loop ileostomy during the first-stage surgery, which has since been successfully reversed. During follow-up, the patient has maintained good general health, preserved bowel function, and has resumed normal daily activities.

Key words: Rectal cancer, Familial adenomatous polyposis, Colonic lengthening
