Brief Summary

Background: laparoscopic resection (LAR) is a safe approach and widely used for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, but short term and oncological outcome for converted cases to open surgery (cLAR), may be questioned in an obese patient. Objective: validating the short-term and oncological outcomes after laparoscopic resection and after conversion to open surgery for upper rectal cancer in obese patients. Patients and methods: A prospective study included 191 patients, randomly allocated into two arms of the study, Arm I is open anterior resection (OAR), this is the control and arm II, The LAR. Only 156 analyzed.
