A Trial of Robotic-assisted Versus Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal Resection for Treating Low Rectal Cancer (RLAPR)
March 6, 2021 updated by: Xu jianmin, Fudan University
A Single-centre, Prospective, Randomised, Controlled, Unblinded, Parallel-group Trial of Robotic-assisted Versus Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal Resection for the Curative Treatment of Low Rectal Cancer
In this study, the investigators assessed the difference in efficacy and safety among robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for patients with low rectal cancer.
