Proctectomy involves removing diseased rectal tissue while aiming to achieve appropriate disease control and preserve bowel function whenever clinically possible. For selected rectal cancer cases, the procedure may include removal of surrounding fatty tissue and nearby lymph nodes. Depending on the location of the disease, surgery may be performed using open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques, with reconstruction planned according to the remaining bowel and anal sphincter function.
