Brief summary

The study involves the use of Retroperitoneal plane for TME for rectal anterior resection. Through a pilot prospective study, LR-TME will be assessed as one arm study.

Detailed description

This study is based on our new suggested theory for a retro-peritoneal approach. After successful 2 cases of Laparoscopic extraperitoneal-TME. A pilot study for assessment of the feasibilty of the new approach. Data will be registered prospectively and the perioperative outcomes will be assessed.
