Quite a few studies on anal functions after open total mesorectal excision combined with transanal intersphincteric resection (ISR) have been reported, but there is little literature on anal function after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME) combined with transanal ISR. The aim of this study was to explore the post‐operative anorectal dynamic changes in ultra‐low rectal cancer patients undergoing LTME combined with transanal ISR.
