Abstract

Objective: Rectal cancer is a common disorder in Vietnam. Laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery for ministering rectal cancer are increasingly popular. Patients who have rectal cancer surgery with end-to-end anastomosis are included in the study to assess their quality of life. Subjects and methods: We studied 86 patients in two groups of laparoscopic and robotic surgery, treating rectal cancer with end-to-end anastomosis. Patients were assessed for quality of life according to the SF-36 table 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. Results: The average age of the laparoscopic and robotic surgery groups was 62.2 and 60.6, respectively. Most patients are in stages II and III; there are no patients in stage IV and few in stage I.  In robotic group, general health and social functionality improved significantly after 6 weeks and 12 weeks compared laparoscopic group. Conclusions: In the robotic surgery group, most areas of SF-36 had better improvement than the group of laparoscopic surgery patients 6 and 12 weeks after surgery
