• Abdominoperineal Resection: It is a surgical procedure in which an abdominal incision is used during surgery to remove the anus, the rectum, and a portion of the sigmoid colon. Body waste is collected in a disposable bag outside the body, and the end of the intestine is linked to an aperture in the surface of the belly.
