- Abstract
The article presents a study on the association between diverting stomas and symptomatic anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery and cancer-specific survival. The study includes patients without distant metastases at the time of low anterior resection aged 75 years or less. It shows that the overall survival was reduced, though oncological outcome was not influenced by leakage while diverting stomas were associated with less symptomatic anastomotic leakage.
