About this study

The goal of this observational trial with a nested randomized controlled trial is to investigate a selective approach of defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection in rectal cancer patients. The primary outcome is a hybrid so-called textbook outcome; stoma-free survival at two years without major LARS, reflecting a functionally appropriate outcome after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Secondary outcomes include anastomotic leakage, postoperative mortality, reinterventions, stoma-related complications, quality of life measures, LARS, and permanent stoma rate up to two years after index surgery.
