Low Anterior Resection (LAR) is a specialized surgical procedure used primarily for the treatment of rectal cancer. It involves the removal of the cancerous portion of the rectum, after which the healthy remaining section is reconnected to the colon. This reconstruction allows patients to maintain normal bowel function and avoid a permanent colostomy in most cases.

At the Asian Center of Oncology and Haematology, a multidisciplinary team—including gastrointestinal surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists, and GI pathologists—collaborates to create a personalized treatment roadmap, ensuring each patient receives the most effective and precise surgical care.
