The RESET trial yielded high-quality results despite focusing on HRPs. Minimally invasive procedures showed similar sphincter-sparing procedure outcomes, but LTME included patients with more favorable tumors. Oncologic and functional outcomes will be evaluated at 2 years (ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT03574493).
