Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The objective of the study is to compare the amount of residual mesorectum after laparoscopic and transanal TME in patients who should have had a complete TME based on the height of the tumor. Primary endpoint is to determine the prevalence and localization of residual mesorectum on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
