ABSTRACT
Low anterior resection syndrome represents a clinical state wherein a constellation of gastrointestinal symptoms is a direct result of anatomic changes to the rectum. Patients who undergo operations to create a neorectum often develop persistent symptoms of increased frequency, urgency, diarrhea, and these symptoms are debilitating and impact patients' quality of life. A stepwise approach to treatment can improve many patients' symptoms with the most invasive options reserved for highly refractory symptoms.
