Core Tip	Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) are important minimally invasive TME procedures for the treatment of low-lying rectal cancer (LRC); however, their specific efficacy and safety are still controversial. Per our findings, although surgery time with TaTME is longer, it ensures better rectal cancer specimen resection and faster postoperative recovery (anal exhaust, first postoperative ambulation, intestinal recovery, and hospital stay) compared with LapTME. Moreover, TaTME is more effective in improving surgical safety, enhancing anal function, and reducing postoperative stress responses. Therefore, TaTME may be a better choice for treating LRC.
