Delayed vs Immediate Coloanal Anastomosis after Total Mesorectal Excision for Low Rectal Cancer: An International Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
DCAA without a diverting stoma for low rectal cancer removes the risks associated with stoma creation and closure-related morbidity. DCAA is also linked to significantly lower postoperative morbidity and improved anorectal function at 2 years compared with ICAA with a diverting stoma. DCAA may therefore be the optimal anastomotic method for patients with low rectal cancer.
