    The study analyzed data from the Swedish ColoRectal Cancer Registry, covering patients from 2007 to 2017.

    In the study cohort, 24% underwent HP, while 43% had anterior resection (AR) and 33% had abdominoperineal resection (APR).

    Patients undergoing HP were significantly older and had more comorbidities compared to those undergoing AR and APR.
