Retrospective Study of Surgical Complications in Patients With Defunctioning Stoma After Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer

This study is being conducted to evaluate the incidence and type of surgical complications occurring in patients who have a defunctioning stoma after LARfor rectal cancer. The data from this retrospective study will be analyzed by the study Sponsor to aid in designing a prospective clinical trial for a new technology that offers a treatment alternative to standard of care defunctioning stoma in patients undergoing LAR for rectal cancer.
