ABSTRACT
Because of the improvement of surgical technique and the widely use of multimodality therapy, more patients with rectal cancer undergo sphincter-preserving surgery. However, it has been reported that up to 90% of such patients will suffer from bowel dysfunction, ranging from increased bowel frequency to faecal incontinence or evacuatory dysfunction. This wide spectrum of symptoms after resection of the rectum has been termed anterior resection syndrome (ARS). This disordered bowel function has a substantial negative effect on quality of life, however, the causal mechanisms have not been clarified. The present review discusses the clinical manifestation, underlying mechanisms, as well as prevention and treatment strategies.
