Incidences of 5 score components of LARS in three groups of different time to assessment. The incidences of cases who could not control flatus or had liquid stool leakage did not decrease significantly with time passage postoperatively. In contrast, in accord with decreasing incidence of major LARS, incidences of cases with bowels more than 7 times per day, open bowels within 1 h and strong urge to open bowels at least once per week decreased significantly in the group of 12–36 months when compared to those within 12 months
