Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Sphincter sparing surgery is oftentimes associated with bowel dysfunction complaints, namely the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). The LARS questionnaire is widely used to assess this syndrome. With advances in colorectal surgery, sparing sphincter surgeries are gaining popularity. But symptoms after surgery can affect the quality of life which has psychomotor effects. Low anterior resection syndrome score is a worldwide known questionnaire. Many countries have accredited validation and translation of this questionnaire, but to our knowledge; it is the first time in Egypt.
