Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We report a combined laparoscopic and open technique for extralevator abdominal perineal excision of the rectum. The key steps are a laparoscopic rectal dissection limited distally by the coccyx. The open, prone, perineal dissection affords excellent views and allows a cylindrical specimen to be obtained. The resulting perineal defect is closed by a biological mesh. Extralevator abdominal perineal excision of the rectum offers a superior oncological specimen with reduced circumferential resection margin involvement compared to traditional techniques. Combined with a laparoscopic approach, this also has the potential to improve postoperative recovery and reduce morbidity. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
