Sažetak
Surgical treatment is a method of choice in treating patients with resectable primary form of rectal cancer. An important step in treatment is the multidisciplinary approach from different medical specialties in the fields of radiology, gastroenterology, oncology and surgery. In recent years, several minimally invasive surgical procedures have been developed that improve postoperative recovery while still preserving oncological principles, such as laparoscopic low anterior resection, transanal total mesorectal excision and robotic surgery. Surgical and oncological principles that must be respected in all cases are wide resection of the tumor with histologically free resection margins and the use of total mesorectal excision with anal sphincter preservation and preservation of the continuity of the intestine whenever possible.
