Brief Title: PR in Endoscopic LAR for Rectal Cancer
Official Title: Pelvic Floor Reconstruction (PR) in Endoscopic Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer
Study ID: NCT04078828
Brief Summary: The anastomotic leakage remains the major early complication after laparoscopic anterior resection(LAR) for medium \& low rectal cancer. Pelvic floor reconstruction (PR) is a key step in various standard resections for open radical rectal cancer surgery, which was considered to be helpful for decreasing the rate of leakage. However, PR in endoscopic LAR surgery is not routine practice and remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PR during LAR for mid/low rectal carcinoma, especially in preventing anastomotic leakage.
Detailed Description: Eligible patients with rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to group with pelvic floor reconstruction(PR) versus group without pelvic floor reconstruction(NPR). We want to investigate the rate of anastomotic leakage and re-operation between the two groups, some other relevant outcomes will be concerned all the same.
