Improving Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients With Rectal Cancer After Surgery With Intensified Follow-up & Surveillance

The goal of this clinical study is to gain further insights into the treatment of patients with Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) symptoms after rectal resection. The main question is: Can LARS symptoms and quality of life be improved by implementing an intensified follow-up program? Researchers will compare the results of the intervention group with the results of a control group in which patients do not receive an intensified follow-up program to determine whether the intervention works. Participants will undergo an intensified follow-up program which consists of several follow-up visits and medical treatment, pelvic floor muscle training and gynaecological and urological co-treatment in case of LARS symptoms and urinary or sexual complaints.
