Does oncological outcome differ between restorative and nonrestorative low anterior resection in patients with primary rectal cancer?

Nonrestorative low anterior resection (n‐rLAR) (also known as low Hartmann’s) is performed for rectal cancer when a poor functional outcome is anticipated or there have been problems when constructing the anastomosis. Compared with restorative LAR (rLAR), little oncological outcome data are available for n‐rLAR. The aim of this study was to compare oncological outcomes between rLAR and n‐rLAR for primary rectal cancer.
