      Purpose Although widely applied, the results following laparoscopic rectal resection (LRR) compared to open rectal resection (ORR) are still debated. The aim of this study was to assess clinical short- and long-term results as well as oncological resection quality following LRR or ORR for cancer in a 5-year national cohort.<p> <p>Methods Data from the Norwegian Registry for Gastrointestinal Surgery ...
