Abstract
From 1987 to 1988, 122 patients with rectal carcinoma underwent Mile's procedure with their artificial anus reconstructed at the perineal region. In 59 patients (48.36%), complications occurred including wound infection on the perineum, mucosa prolapse of the artificial anus, anus retraction or severe edema, and perineal erosive dermatitis. The causes of the complications and the therapeutic approach were discussed.
