    Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) significantly affects bowel function and health-related quality of life in rectal cancer patients.

    The incidence of LARS one year post-surgery is high, reported at 44%, with major risk factors including female sex and anastomotic leakage.

    This systematic review aims to assess the impact of LARS on health-related quality of life using the LARS score and EORTC QLQ-C30.

    Understanding LARS's effects on quality of life is essential for effective preoperative counseling and patient care.
