Core Tip	This study investigates the role of pelvimetry in predicting surgical and oncological outcomes in rectal cancer patients. Using computed tomography (CT)-based pelvic inlet area measurements and magnetic resonance imaging-based pelvic cavity index (PCI), the study identifies lower PCI as a significant predictor of surgical morbidity. However, CT-based pelvimetry showed no significant correlation with operation time or local recurrence. Multivariate analysis highlights age, sex, and PCI as independent risk factors for morbidity. While pelvimetry is useful for assessing surgical complexity, its value in predicting oncological outcomes remains limited, warranting further validation through larger multicenter studies.
