rectus muscle in the middle of the bundle to deliver two fingerbreadths (Figure 12-28). The cut end of the bowel is brought out through the anterior abdominal wall and “matured” to the skin with circumferential interrupted 3-0 absorbable suture (Figure 12-29). The large Blake drain is brought out through a stab wound in the lower abdomen, and the abdominal wall is closed with a running absorbable suture. The skin is closed with skin staples, and the ostomy appliance and dressing are applied.

The patient is moved to a stretcher and rolled back onto the operating table to the prone-
jackknife position with a roll under the hips and rolls under the chest, with the buttocks taped apart (Figure 12-30). The perineum is prepared and draped, and the anal canal is closed with a subcutaneous circumanal suture at the anal verge (Figure 12-31).

An elliptical incision is made on the perineal skin from the tip of the coccyx to the anterior
perineal body outside the external sphincter and carried into the ischial rectal fossa (Figure 12-32). The dissection in the ischial rectal fossa extends up to the undersurface of the levator muscles separating the fat from the outer aspect of the external sphincter. The bear claw St. Mark’s retractor is useful to maintain exposure during this portion of the dis­section (Figure 12-33). The pudendal nerves and vessels are identified and controlled in the lateral aspects of the ischiorectal fossa space. The tip of the coccyx is either incised and removed or exposed for the transverse incision made in the pelvic floor anterior to the tip of the coccyx (Figure 12-34). The posterior pelvic space is entered, and the previously dissected space is easily exposed (Figure 12-35).
u
The muscles of the levator plate are incised along each side of the rectum over a finger placed
into the pelvic cavity through the posterior incision (Figures 12-3 and 12-36). Depending on the size of the tumor, a cuff of muscle can be left, or the entire muscle can be removed. As the dissection moves anteriorly, the posterior aspect of the vagina or prostate is eventually encountered. The vagina, or a portion thereof, can be excised to provide anterior clear margins (Figure 12-37). The dissection must be maintained in the vagina posterior to the lateral aspect of the vagina where the nerves and vessels are found. A portion of the coccyx can be removed during this dissection to provide clear margins for a posteriorly placed tumor. This removal is easily accomplished with an incision along the edges of the coccyx and transection of the osteocartilaginous junction with rongeurs (bone cutters). This maneuver also facilitates total excision of the pelvic floor.

The rectum and sigmoid colon are delivered through the posterior aspect of the pelvic floor
opening (Figure 12-38). The posterior aspect of the bladder and the deep pelvis are now exposed (Figure 12-39). The Blake drain from within the abdominal cavity is brought down into the pelvis. The decision is made whether the closure can be accomplished with sutures to approximate the muscle cuff in the midline or whether a biomesh replacement is needed (Figure 12-40).
u
The subcutaneous fat of the ischiorectal fossa is reapproximated in the midline with layers
of interrupted horizontal mattress sutures of absorbable suture to the level of the subcuticular layer, which is left open. Polysporin ointment and a 4 × 4 gauze are applied (Figure 12-41).

In cases where the coccyx is to be removed, this should be accomplished first (Figure 12-42).
The edge of the coccyx is cauterized, and the osteocartilaginous junction is transected to allow the rectum and sigmoid to be pulled through the pelvic floor with the coccyx attached. If a portion of the vagina is to be excised, the rectum is removed from the vagina as the final maneuver (Figure 12-43). The posterior vagina is closed with a running full-thickness absorb- able suture from the apex of the cuff out to the introitus (Figure 12-44). Over time, the vagina restretches to accommodate space. The rest of the pelvic floor closure proceeds as previously described.

Step 4: Postoperative Care

Instruction in enterostomal therapy and appliance change is very helpful for a new ostomate. Patients require significant analgesia with patient-controlled narcotic and nonsteroidal anti­inflammatory drug administration.
The perineum becomes a major concern and focus of the patient after this procedure. The patient should not sit, scoot, or ride in a car sitting for at least 2 weeks. A shower or tub soak is sometimes helpful to relieve some of the pain and to clean the area. There is a significant amount of serous drainage in the first 2 weeks until the wound begins to seal. Patients who have undergone chemoradiation for squamous cell cancer have an extremely high risk of wound breakdown. This condition is easily treated with placement of a wound VAC in the wound after it separates. In many circumstances, if the wound raises any suspicions of potential problems, a wound VAC could be placed primarily at the time of the operation to begin healing and improve tissue oxygenation and contraction. The Blake drain is left in the pelvis until the drain­age has decreased to less than 50 mL/day and is clear serous in nature.
The patient can be started on a clear liquid diet and advanced quickly to a regular diet as soon as nausea and bloating are gone. The patient should be able to care for the colostomy and be having semiformed bowel movements before discharge.
Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and patient-controlled analgesia are required for all of these patients because they are at high risk for coagulopathy with a diagnosis of cancer and pelvic dissection. The bladder catheter is left in the bladder in most male patients for at least 4 to 5 days because of the high likelihood of urinary retention and need for reinsertion if removed earlier. Female patients can have the bladder catheter removed earlier and tend to do well with voiding despite the pelvic dissection.

Step 5: Pearls and Pitfalls

The colostomy represents a major source of complications because of blood supply, the possibil­ity of retraction, and the difficulty of maintaining an appliance if poorly placed on the abdominal wall. Preoperative marking can avoid most of these problems if the patient is placed in the sitting position, standing position, and lying position and asked to visualize the ostomy site (Figure 12-27). Doing this with the patient dressed in his or her usual clothes may also help identify the path of the belt. Most of the time, it is better to ask the patient to change his or her clothes style rather than move the ostomy to the upper abdomen.
As mentioned earlier, the perineal wound is the most likely site of complication. Close atten­tion to avoiding sitting, scooting, or any lateral traction to the perineal wound can reduce the risk of breakdown of the wound, infection, and future complications of perineal hernia. If an abscess forms in the pelvis, a computed tomography (CT) scan can aid in the diagnosis, and placement of a drain by a vascular interventional radiologist can be performed to eliminate the collection. The pelvic drain placed at the time of operation can be left in place for longer periods if there is an extremely high volume of lymphatic and serous fluid collecting in the now empty pelvis.
