Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age between 18 and 75 years; 2.American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification <= III; 3.Rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by colonoscopy and pathological biopsy; 4.At initial treatment, colonoscopy indicates that the distal margin of the tumor is <= 7 cm from the anal verge, or imaging studies show that the distal tumor margin is located below the peritoneal reflection; 5.Presence of high-risk factors for anastomotic leakage, with the operating surgeon judging that fecal diversion is required intraoperatively; 6.The patient is able to understand the study protocol and is willing to participate in the study, providing written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria
