The sphincter preserving operation has improved the quality of life (QOL) of patients with low rectal cancer. However, some patients complain of having postoperative fecal incontinence and low QOL due to sphincter injury, nerve injure, and decreased rectal capacity. Therefore, anal physiology evaluation must be done preoperatively, the sphincter muscle and nerve should be preserved in operation, and biofeedback treatment should be administered postoperatively.
