Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complication rate

    Complication rate within 1 month postoperatively.All complications of surgery will be documented and graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification system,generally including anastomotic leakage, abdominal infection, bleeding, incision infection, incision implantation, intestinal obstruction, and rectovaginal fistula.

    Up to 30 days postoperatively.

Secondary Outcomes (23)

  • C-reactive protein (CRP)

    1 day before operation, 1, 3, 5 days postoperatively, and up to 2 weeks.

  • Interleukin

    1 day before operation, 1, 3, 5 days postoperatively, and up to 2 weeks.

  • Cortisol

    1 day before operation, 1, 3, 5 days postoperatively, and up to 2 weeks.

  • CD3, CD4, and CD8 lymphocyte subsets

    1 day before operation, 1, 3, 5 days postoperatively, and up to 2 weeks.

  • Positive rate of tumor cells

    Intraoperative.

  • +18 more secondary outcomes
