Intervention(s)
Patients with rectal cancer of the lower two thirds, eligible for low anterior resection (LAR) with total mesorectal excision (TME).

Patients will be randomized intraoperatively to either the Colon J-Pouch or Transverse Coloplasty group if they are eligible for both. Postoperative follow-up will assess the safety of TCP and CJP after LAR/TME, including postoperative mortality, morbidity and functional results. Functional outcome will be monitored for 24 months. Each participant has to answer questionnaires about their neorectal function after certain time periods.
