Abstract

In the first randomized clinical trial in the field to our knowledge, Zhao et al1 report that the insertion of a transanal tube (TT) does not reduce the 30-day incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients who underwent low anterior resection. We would like to point out a few design issues that we think limit the interpretation and external validity of the trial.
