Postoperative urinary retention following transanal versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: A randomized trial report from an experienced center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transanal total mesorectal excision has emerged as a potential solution to certain limitations associated with laparoscopic total mesorectal excision in rectal cancer patients. Differences in surgical approaches have raised questions regarding their impact on the risk of postoperative urinary retention, with limited data available from large scale randomized clinical study.

Objective

To report incidence of postoperative urinary retention and evaluate the associated risk factors for transanal total mesorectal excision.

Design

In this randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials. gov NCT06147492), we retrieved 524 patients who received total mesorectal excision (TME) for stage I-III rectal cancer between June 2019 and April 2022, and the patients were randomly
