Preoperative prediction of conversion from laparoscopic rectal resection to open surgery: a clinical study of conversion scoring of laparoscopic rectal resection to open surgery

·         The clinical data of 602 cases of laparoscopic rectal resection were retrospectively assessed.

·         Risk factors associated with conversion of laparoscopic rectal resection to open rectal surgery were identified by logistic regression analysis.

·         Also, a scoring system was created to calculate a score for the conversion of laparoscopic rectal resection to predict possible conversion for patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal resection before surgery.
