Summary
This study tests whether adding extra stitches around the surgical connection after removing low rectal cancer can prevent leaks, a common and serious complication. About 300 adults with early-stage rectal cancer will be assigned to either standard surgery or surgery with reinforced stitching. Researchers will compare leak rates, recovery time, and quality of life to find the safer approach.
