    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Low anterior resection is a key surgical procedure for rectal cancer and some benign conditions.
    • Technical difficulties and complications can arise during low anterior resection, impacting patient outcomes.
    • Optimizing surgical techniques is crucial for improving the safety and efficacy of this procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a personal series of 93 low anterior resections.
    • To identify and analyze technical problems and complications associated with the procedure.
    • To compare different surgical approaches, including anastomosis techniques, protective stoma use, and drainage methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 93 consecutive low anterior resection cases.
