(1) In 22 (51%) a sphincter saving resection (SSR) was done: 18 low anterior resection, 3 coloanal anastomosis and one pull-through, in 21 (46%) abdominoperineal resection (APER).
(2) The patients with temporal lobe lesions, regardless of lesion location in temporal areas, displayed either absence of APER (the whole APER or only the initial components) or a latency increase without amplitude changes.
(3) The averaged photic-evoked responses (APER) and their dispersion pattern (DP) were investigated in tired subjects, neurotics and patients with neurotic syndromes.
(4) After 2 years, local recurrence cumulative rates were 13.6 per cent after SSR and 18.8 per cent after APER.
(5) A lengthening of the latencies and decrease in amplitude of different APER components, found in neurotics and in patients with neurotic syndromes only, indicated abnormalities in the function of neuronal structures involved in the organizations of responses to peripheral stimuli.
(6) Thus, as the choice between APER and SSR does not seem to affect the incidence of local recurrence, which is related more to tumor size, site, stage, and grading, preservation of the sphincters and restoration of digestive continuity should be achieved whenever technically possible.
(7) In the controversy regarding whether sphincter-saving resection (SSR) or abdominoperineal resection (APER) is more appropriate for the treatment of very low rectal cancer, local recurrence rates seem to play a fundamental role in patient outcome.
(8) Ten patients (13.5 per cent) died of their disease within 2 years of a radical SSR, 15 (15 per cent) after radical APER.

(11) 2 (9%) operative death were in the SSR and 7 (33%) in the APER.
(12) In 20 patients with temporal lobe lesions and 10 controls, the averaged photic-evoked responses (APERs) and their dispersion pattern (DP) were investigated in inion-vertex-lead and bilaterally in inion-parietal leads (I-P3 and I-P4).
(13) One hundred (68 per cent) underwent SSR, 33 (22 per cent) had an APER and 16 (10 per cent) had a local procedure.
(14) In the APER group, the local recurrence rate was 45.5%, occurring in 5 of 11 cases; and in the SSR group 46.1%, occurring in 6 of 13 cases, with no significant difference between the two groups.
(15) The incidence of recurrence after radical SSR (n = 74) was compared with the historical control group which underwent radical APER, the two groups being matched for Dukes' stage and height of the lesion.
(16) The appearance of an ample late negative deflection (N3) followed by a deep positive one (P3) of APER and of an atypical DP in tired subjects, neurotics and in patients with neurotic syndromes, may be considered signs of tiredness and of attention lability.
(17) The commonest form of treatment during the study period was an abdomino-perineal excision of rectum (APER).
(18) Temperature-shift experiments indicated that the temperature-sensitive-period of the aper CTF36 mutation occurs around Days 2-4 after eclosion.
(19) We have therefore compared our results of SSR for low and mid-rectal cancers performed between 1978 and mid 1982 with those obtained with APER before this period.
(20) The role of the temporal lobe in the organization of APER in visual areas is discussed.
