Nomogram for benign anastomotic stricture after surgery for rectal cancer

Abstract

LCA preservation, protective stoma, anastomotic leakage, and anastomotic distance may affect the occurrence of anastomotic stricture following surgery for rectal cancer. The nomogram model generated in the present study can be valuable in the prediction of anastomotic stricture. This study has been registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/, ChiCTR 2100043775).
