Abstract

Background: Bowel volume loss during anus-preserving surgery (APS) may result in low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). We conducted this prospective observational cohort study to measure the incidence of LARS after surgery and evaluate the relationship between bowel volume loss and bowel function. Methods: Patients with R0 resectable rectal cancer who consented to several bowel function surveys through telephone interviews after the operation were included. Enrolled patients underwent standard APS for rectal cancer, and three length indexes, viz. length of excised bowel, length of the distal
