Core Tip Rectal cancer and preoperative induction therapy followed by dedicated operation has emerged as a total neoadjuvant therapy strategy with improved oncological and functional outcomes. The impact of total neoadjuvant therapy on operative difficulty and short-term surgical outcomes compared to long course chemoradiotherapy remains an area of ongoing debate. This cohort study analyzed 99 cases and demonstrated that the rectal cancer and preoperative induction therapy followed by dedicated operation protocol does not increase surgical difficulty or compromise early surgical outcomes in comparison to long course chemoradiotherapy. It may also confer a shorter total stoma duration and lower permanent stoma rate.
