Transanal TME (TaTME) and robotic TME were developed to overcome the limitations of laparoscopic TME in confined pelvic spaces. Despite promising results, comparative evidence among these approaches remains limited and heterogeneous. To address this gap, we conducted a propensity score-matched analysis to evaluate and compare the clinical and oncologic outcomes of TaTME, robotic TME, and laparoscopic TME in patients with rectal cancer treated at a high-volume tertiary center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study included patients with rectal cancer who underwent restorative proctectomy between 2015 and 2021.
