This study aimed to assess the impact of anterior resection and reversal of ileostomy on long-term health-related quality of life and low anterior resection syndrome.
BACKGROUND: Surgical and systemic therapies continue to advance, enabling restorative resections for distal rectal cancer. These operations are associated with low anterior resection syndrome. Recent studies with methodological and size limitations have investigated the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome after anterior resection. However, the long-term trajectory of low anterior resection syndrome and its effect on health-related quality of life remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of anterior resection and reversal of ileostomy on long-term health-related quality of life and low anterior resection syndrome. DESIGN: Patient demographics were analyzed alongside low anterior resection syndrome and health-related quality-of-life qualitative scores (EORTC-QLQ-C30) obtained through cross-sectional postal questionnaires. SETTING: Patients who underwent anterior resection of the rectum for cancer with defunctioning ileostomy between 2003 and 2016 at 2 high-volume centers in the United Kingdom were identified, excluding those experiencing anastomotic leakage. PATIENTS: Among 478 eligible patients, 311 (65.1%) participated at a mean of 6.5 +/- 0.2 years after anterior resection. Demographics and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy rates were similar (p > 0.05) between participants and nonparticipants. RESULTS: The percentage of patients who experienced major low anterior resection syndrome was 53.4% (166/311). Health-related quality-of-life functional domain scores improved in the years after reversal of ileostomy, with significant changes in constipation (p = 0.01), social function (p = 0.03), and emotional scores (p = 0.02), as well as a reduction in the prevalence of major low anterior resection syndrome (p = 0.003). LIMITATIONS: The main limitation of this study was that the data collected were cross-sectional rather than longitudinal, and that nonresponders may have had worse cancer symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: In this first large-scale study assessing long-term function after anterior resection and reversal of ileostomy, there is a linear improvement in major low anterior resection syndrome beyond 6 years, alongside improvements in key quality-of-life measures.
