Low Anterior Resection is a surgical procedure used to remove the diseased portion of the rectum while preserving the anal sphincter when medically appropriate. It is commonly performed for selected cases of rectal cancer and certain other rectal conditions. After removing the affected section, the surgeon reconnects the remaining colon to the rectum or anal canal to maintain the natural route of bowel movement. In some cases, a temporary diverting ileostomy may be created to protect the surgical connection during healing.

Low Anterior Resection is performed under general anaesthesia using a surgical approach selected according to the location and extent of disease and the patient's overall condition. After the affected section is removed, the surgeon creates a colorectal or coloanal anastomosis when feasible. A temporary ileostomy may be recommended in selected patients to reduce the consequences of a potential leak while the anastomosis heals. Postoperative monitoring includes bowel function, infection, bleeding, anastomotic leakage, and other potential complications.
