Core Tip	This retrospective study, which included 105 patients with rectal cancer, evaluated the demographic, clinical, and preoperative laboratory data associated with early and late postoperative complications in patients underwent low anterior resection (LAR) using two different surgical techniques (open and laparoscopic). For the first time in this study, the significance of the preoperative eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio (ELR) on early postoperative complications was evaluated; although this effect was found to be significant in univariate analysis, it was not found to be significant in logistic regression analysis. This result suggests that the relationship between the preoperative ELR and early postoperative complications in rectal cancer patients undergoing LAR should be investigated in prospective, well-designed studies.
