Abstract: | Background Perineal wound complications are frequently observed after abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer, especially in preoperatively irradiated patients. This is the first study to investigate whether local application of gentamicin-impregnated collagen fleece reduces deep perineal wound infection after APR for rectal cancer following short-term radiotherapy. |
