Summary

Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) frequently occurs in patients undergoing low anterior resection (LAR). However, the incidence, exact mechanism and risk factors of major LARS largely variate in different studies. Considering varieties and differences of patient characteristics between Chinese patients and the western ones, this retrospective study aims to investigate the incidence of LARS in Chinese patients undergoing laparoscopic LAR, and to explore perioperative risk factors that might be associated with major LARS. Consequent patients undergoing laparoscopic LAR and free from disease recurrence from January 2015 to May 2021 were issued with LARS questionnaire. Incidence of LARS and patient data were collected and analyzed.
