Assessing the role of anastomotic level in low anterior resection (LAR) surgery among rectal cancer patients in the development of LAR syndrome: a systematic review study

All of the studies in this systematic review were associated with an increased risk of LARS development among patients with low anastomosis.PMID:37653424 | DOI:10.1186/s12893-023-02166-5
