Sphincter-Preserving Low Rectal Cancer Surgery | Dr. Harshal Rajekar

Dr. Harshal Rajekar, Consultant Hepatobiliary, GI and Liver Transplant Surgeon in Baner, Pune, successfully managed a complex case of low rectal adenocarcinoma at Medicover Hospitals, Pune, performing an ultra-low anterior resection with complete total mesorectal excision while preserving the anal sphincters. Despite significant challenges including recent DVT, pulmonary embolism, and the tumor’s close proximity to the sphincter, the patient achieved a colostomy-free cancer surgery with minimal blood loss, smooth recovery, and excellent functional outcomes—reflecting Dr. Rajekar’s expertise in advanced GI oncology surgery and patient-centric, quality-of-life-focused care.
