Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the postoperative anal function of patients with ultra-low rectal cancer after Parks operation (colon anal anastomosis) and Bacon operation (colon anal pull-out anastomosis), which may provide clinical evidence for the improvement of anal function and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: the difference of anal function 1 year after surgery type of study: clinical trial participant population: patients with low rectal cancer Participants will receive Parks operation of Bacon operation If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare Parks and Bacon operation to see if the anal function 1 year after surgery is different.
