Comparing Anal Function After Parks Versus Bacon Surgery in Patients With Low Rectal Cancer A Multicenter Randomized Study on Postoperative Quality of Life and Complications

What this Trial Is About

This clinical trial investigates patients with ultra-low rectal cancer to compare postoperative anal function following two surgical methods the Parks operation colon anal anastomosis and the Bacon operation colon anal pull-out anastomosis. The purpose is to provide clinical evidence on how these techniques affect anal function and quality of life after surgery. The study is randomized and prospective, focusing on the differences in anal function one year after surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Parks or Bacon surgical technique. Researchers will assess anal function using the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome LARS score at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. They will also monitor quality of life and the occurrence of postoperative complications related to the anastomosis over these time points. During the study, participants will undergo evaluations of their anal function and quality of life at several intervals up to one year after surgery. The main measurement is the LARS score at one year, with additional assessments at 3 and 6 months. Researchers will monitor any complications and overall patient well-being to better understand the impact of each surgical method. The total participation time aligns with these follow-ups.
