The median follow-up times were 3.3 (range 1.6\u20137.4) years and 3.0 (range 1.6\u20137.6) years for the RVMR and LVMR groups, respectively. The postoperative QoL measures did not differ between the groups. Compared with the LVMR group, the RVMR group had lower postoperative Wexner Incontinence Score (median 5 vs. median 8; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), experienced significant ongoing incontinence symptoms less often (30.6% vs. 49.0%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and reported less postoperative faecal incontinence discomfort evaluated with the visual analogue scale (median 11 vs. median 39; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005).
