AB Rectal cancer surgery in Japan started to first step of Lisfranc type resection by T. Sato in 1887. Since H. Ito (1902) published in success of three cases of abdominosacral excision (ASE), ASE occupied the main position of rectal cancer surgery in Japan. In 1944, however, M. Kuru reported the superiority of abdominoperineal resection (APR), an orient of surgery had changed to APR from ASE with time. His operative mortality was 2.0% or less, and 5-year survival rate was more than 50%. D. Jinnai (1961) introduced endorectal pull-through operation, and in 1972 he exhibited an excellent survival and satisfying function following sphincter preserving operation, such as anterior resection and pull-through, for mid and upper rectal cancer. T. Kajitani (1975) and Y. Koyama (1977) improved the survivals through an extended pelvic nodes dissection. Today, the principle of rectal cancer surgery in Japan is a limited resection for early cancer, sphincter preserving operations for upper and mid-rectal cancer and extended pelvic nodes dissection for advanced lower rectal cancer.
