Objectives: Knowledge about the long-term course and prognosis of persistent somatic symptoms (PSS) is important to improve clinical decision-making and guidance for patients with PSS. Therefore, we aimed to: (1) identify distinct 5-year trajectories of symptom severity, physical and mental functioning in adult patients with PSS and (2) explore patient characteristics associated with these trajectories.
Design: We used longitudinal data (seven measurements over a 5-year period) of the PROSPECTS study: a prospective cohort of adult patients with PSS.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the diagnosis and evolution of low anterior rectal resection syndrome (LARS) in patients admitted to a tertiary surgical center in Romania.
Materials And Methods: From 120 patients initially included in the analysis, after applying the exclusion criteria, we selected 102 patients diagnosed and operated on for neoplasm of the upper, middle, and lower rectum for which resection and excision (partial or total) of mesorectum was associated. All the patients we treated in the general surgery department of the County Emergency Hospital of Craiova within a time frame of 5 years (1 October 2017-1 September 2022), and all experienced at least one symptom associated with LARS.
