Abstract
LARS is common, but there is substantial variation in the reporting of functional outcomes after low anterior resection. Most studies have focused on incontinence, omitting other symptoms that correlate with patients' quality of life. To improve and standardize research into LARS, a consensus definition should be developed, and these findings should inform this goal.
