The aim of the project is to evaluate the oncological and functional outcome of the more extensive perineal dissection - i.e the extra levator resection - in abdominoperineal resections in patients with rectal cancer. Hypothesis: Extra levator perineal resection reduces local recurrence three year postoperatively compared to traditional abdominoperineal resection and improves QoL 2-4 years postoperatively.
