abdominoperineal resection
Surgery to remove the anus, the rectum, and part of the sigmoid colon
through an incision made in the abdomen. The end of the intestine is
attached to an opening in the surface of the abdomen and body waste is
collected in a disposable bag outside of the body. This opening is
called a colostomy. Lymph nodes that contain cancer may also be removed
during this operation.
