This research study is investigating Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), a common bowel problem that affects up to 80% of people after rectal cancer surgery. Researchers want to understand why different patients experience different symptoms—like urgency, frequent bowel movements, and loss of bowel control—so they can create more targeted, personalized treatment plans. The study uses advanced imaging and specialized tests to look at how the bowel functions in patients with LARS compared to other groups.
After rectal cancer surgery, many patients struggle with long-term bowel control problems that seriously impact their quality of life. Currently, doctors don't fully understand why these problems happen or why treatments work differently for different people. This study aims to identify distinct patterns in how the bowel malfunctions, which could lead to treatments tailored specifically to each patient's needs.

You will attend one study visit at the hospital where you will undergo advanced physiological tests, an MRI scan of your abdomen, and complete standardized questionnaires about your symptoms. If you have LARS, you will also be followed during your regular stepwise treatment pathway, completing questionnaires before and during each treatment step (which may include dietary advice, medications, or other therapies). The entire process is designed to help researchers better understand your individual condition so they can recommend the most effective treatment for you.
