Rectal

  1. In this table, we can see the percentage of anastomosis noted at the performed cases as following penile, rectal, vesical anastomoses, and anastomosis with the other side were identified with 7 (8.4%), 3 (3.6%), 2 (2.4%), and 8 (9.6%) of PAs, respectively.
  2. Out of these cases, 3 cases with penile anastomosis developed minor penile ulcer (3.6%) and 2 patients with rectal anastomosis developed minimal hematochezia (2.4%) for few days post-procedure and one patient with vesical anastomosis complained of signs of cystitis and self-limited hematuria (1.2%); all these complications were managed by analgesics and antibiotics with no major complications noticed.
