Primary | Bowel function changes after the treatment using Low anterior resection syndrome questionnaire | Bowel function assessment using Low anterior resection syndrome questionnaire Bowel function following low anterior resection surgery for rectal cancer will be assessed using Low anterior resection syndrome score (LARS score - simple 5 question questionnaire). LARS score is a tool consisting of five items, which are as follows: incontinence due to flatus (score range from 0 to 7), incontinence due to liquid stools (score range from 0 to 3), frequency of bowel movements (score range from 0 to 5), clustering (score range from 0 to 11) and urgency (score range from 0 to 16). The severity of each item is calculated on a scale ranging from 0 to 42, with a score of 0-20 (no LARS), 21-29 (minor LARS) and 30-42 (major LARS). | 6 months |
