Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The laparoscopic surgery exhibit superiority to traditional open surgery in safety and effectiveness in the treatment of rectal cancer, but it may result in sexual and bladder functional disorders. Whether traditional open surgery can lead to sexual and bladder functional disorders remain in dispute. 
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of laparoscopic and open surgery on sexual function and bladder function in treatment of rectal cancer.
METHODS: Literatures related to randomized controlled trials in English and Chinese on the comparison between the sexual function and bladder function after laparoscopic and open surgery in rectal cancer from EMbase, PubMed, CJFD, CBM, Wanfang, CSFD Data were extracted and methodological quality were evaluated by two reviewers independently with designed extraction form. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analyses.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 3 studies involving 347 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that, there were not significantly different between the laparoscopic and open surgery for rectal cancer in overall sexual function and bladder function, but the results required further investigation.
