Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
All patients planned for an anterior resection due to rectal cancer with a total mesorectal excision are included. This is a feasibility study, thus no randomization will be performed. Primary endpoint is clinical and pathologic examination of the specimen. Secondary end-points include clinical variables such as conversion rate, re-admission and/or re-operation due to any complication and health economy analyses.
