Low Anterior Resection Syndrome following Restorative Proctectomy for Rectal Cancer: Can the Surgeon Have Any Meaningful Impact?
2024
Overview
Postoperative bowel dysfunction following restorative proctectomy, commonly referred to as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), is a common long term sequela of rectal cancer treatment. While many of the established risk factors for LARS are non-modifiable, others may be well within the surgeon’s control. Several pre-, intra-, and postoperative decisions may have a significant impact on postoperative bowel function. Some of these factors include the extent of surgical resection, surgical approach, choice of anastomotic reconstruction, and use of fecal diversion. This review article summarizes the available evidence regarding how surgical decision-making can affect postoperative bowel function.
