Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis of the present trial was that the use of a defunctioning loop stoma reduces the rate of symptomatic anastomotic leakage from 15% to 7.5% after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The assumption that a defunctioning loop stoma reduces symptomatic anastomotic leakage from 15% to 7.5%, with a level of statistical significance of 5% and a statistical power of 80%, requires randomization of 220 patients.
