However, a substantial proportion of patients develop postoperative functional impairment known as low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). Emerging evidence suggests that robotic-assisted surgery may offer superior functional outcomes compared to other approaches. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the incidence and severity of LARS after robotic and open surgery using a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective, single-center cohort study included patients with primary adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon or rectum who underwent open or robotic oncological resection between 2014 and 2024. Eligible participants completed a standardized, validated questionnaire to assess their individual LARS score. The LARS scores were subsequently correlated with selected clinicopathological characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      LARS questionnaires were analyzed in 184 patients. The incidence of major LARS was comparable between open and robotic surgery (39.1% vs. 39.2%), as was the rate of minor LARS (20% vs. 15%), with no statistically significant difference observed in multivariable ordinal regression (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.451). Independent risk factors for LARS included neoadjuvant treatment, hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis, formation of a protective stoma, tumor location in the middle and lower rectum, and total mesorectal excision.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LARS remains a significant clinical challenge, irrespective of the surgical approach. This PROM-based finding is particularly relevant for preoperative counseling and shared decision-making, as it suggests that open surgery is not inherently associated with worse functional outcomes in terms of LARS.
