Popis: The proposed difficulty scoring system (DSS) may aid in preoperative planning for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME) for rectal cancer. Fifty-three patients [28 males; 59.0 (31.0–88.0) years of age] treated for rectal cancer at our institution from 2/2011–5/2018 were identified. “Difficult operation” (DO) was defined as the presence of ≥3 factors: operative time ≥320 min, estimated blood loss >250 ml, intraoperative complications, conversion to laparotomy, >2 stapler applications, incomplete TME quality, and/or subjective perceived difficulty. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression model with backward elimination method were used to obtain a DSS which consists of two factors: sex (male = 1 and female = 0) and body mass index (BMI) (≥30 kg/m2 = 1
