The predictive model established in this study provides a tool for clinicians to identify high-risk patients for anastomotic fistula formation following laparoscopic radical rectal cancer surgery at an early stage. This facilitates early identification, detection, intervention and prevention of high-risk anastomotic fistula patients, thereby effectively reducing the risk of anastomotic fistula formation following laparoscopic radical rectal cancer surgery.
