Abstract:Background
In rectal cancer surgery, a diverting stoma (DS) is used to reduce anastomotic leakage (AL). However, there is still uncertainty whether use of a DS really avoids AL. In this study, we identified risk factors for AL coexisting with a DS to examine the usefulness of establishment of a DS.
Methods
The subjects were 143 patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted low anterior resection with DS creation from January 2010 to May 2021. Patients and operative characteristics … Show more
