An overview of Extralevator Abdominoperineal Excision (ELAPE) for low rectal cancer

Abstract

APE for low rectal cancer is associated with high rate of tumor perforation, CRM involvement. It is well established that bowel perforation and CRM involvement are strong predictors of local recurrence and survival in rectal cancer. Extralevator Abdominoperineal Excision [ELAPE] avoids dissecting the mesorectum off the levator ani muscle and divides the levators laterally at their point of insertion to the pelvic bony-ligamentous ring. ELAPE is associated with slightly higher local complication in compare to conventional APE. A recent multicentre analysis has reported the use of ELAPE in reducing the CRM involvement and perforation rate. Here in, ELAPE has been discussed in view of the literature.
