    The study compares short-term safety outcomes of degradable stents versus diverting ileostomy in mid-to-low rectal cancer patients.

  • 2

    Anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic anterior resection ranges from 3% to 20%, impacting mortality and reoperation rates.

  • 3

    Degradable stents aim to reduce stoma-related complications and avoid reoperation compared to traditional ileostomy.

  • 4

    Sixty-five patients were enrolled, with 32 in the degradable stent group and 33 in the ileostomy group, ensuring randomization.

  • 5

    Primary outcomes included major complications within 30 days, while secondary outcomes assessed operative parameters and hospital stay.
