Aim Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is expected to improve the quality of total mesorectal excision as well as preserve urinary function. We aimed to study the frequency and risk factors of urinary dysfunction in rectal cancer patients after TaTME. Moreover, we analysed the association b...
