description BackgroundDietary management was an important strategy for controlling low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after sphincter-saving surgery, however, the influencing dietary factors of LARS are not completely clear. This study aims at exploring the specific association between perioperative intake of foods and nutrients and the improvement of LARS within the first 6 months after surgery.MethodsThis study applied a prospective cohort design. 210 consecutive patients were admitted in the colorectal surgical ward after the sphincter-saving surgery in a tertiary hospital in China from May to November in 2020. The perioperative food intake was assessed by the food frequency questionnaire, and the bowel symptoms were assessed by the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome Score Scale. The binary logistic regression was used to analyze the collected data.ResultsIt was found out that both the intake of oil before surgery and at 6 months after surgery were significantly associated with the improvement of LARS. The average daily intake of livestock and poultry meats and oil during the first 6 months after sphincter-saving surgery were also associated with the improvement of LARS.ConclusionsThe relationship between the intake of Livestock and poultry meats and oil and the improvement of LARS was significant in this study. It provides evidence for medical staff to make up effective interventions of moderating diet to promote the relief of LARS during the first 6 months after sphincter-saving surgery.
