What are the risks and recovery expectations?
Risks include bleeding, infection, anastomotic leak, urinary or sexual dysfunction, and temporary or permanent stoma. Recovery involves a hospital stay of 7–10 days, with gradual return to normal activities over 4–6 weeks. Most patients resume light work by week 4, but full recovery may take longer. Close follow-up with imaging and tumor markers is standard.
