BJS Open
June 2019
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, and Centre of Digestive Diseases Karolinska University Hospital Stockholm Sweden.
Background: This population-based cohort study aimed to evaluate occurrence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and correlate this to health-related quality of life in patients who had undergone segmental colonic resection for colonic cancer in the Stockholm-Gotland region. The hypothesis was that there is a difference in occurrence of LARS depending on whether a right- or a left-sided resection was performed.
Methods: Patients who underwent segmental colonic resection for colonic cancer stages I-III in the Stockholm-Gotland region in 2013-2015 received EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-CR29 and LARS score questionnaires 1 year after surgery.
