Abstract
The simultaneous occurrence of carcinoma of the rectum and prostate is observed in 6%. Ablative surgery in two sessions is technically more difficult than in a single session. This is demonstrated by the successful outcome of a patient treated for such a double carcinoma without colostomy. In contrast to an accidental rectal injury, the thorough bowel preparation in this planned procedure enabled a single-session resection of the two cancers.
