Study Description

Brief Summary: The Transanal Transection and Single-Stapled anastomosis (TTSS) technique may be a valid alternative to traditional double-stapled anastomosis for low rectal cancer surgery. This study aims to compare the postoperative and functional outcomes of patients receiving TTSS and traditional double-stapled anastomosis.

Detailed Description: The Transanal Transection and Single-Stapled anastomosis (TTSS) technique has become a valid alternative to the standard double-stapled anastomosis approach in the surgical treatment of low rectal cancer. Recent evidence showed a significantly reduced number of anastomotic leaks in patients undergoing TTSS compared with patients receiving double-stapled anastomosis, suggesting that TTSS may be technically feasible and may provide a surgical advantage over the traditional double-stapled technique. However, these studies were severely limited by their single-center and retrospective nature. This study aims to confirm the retrospective findings by extending the data collection to additional countries and provide prospective data collection.
