Prunes cut low anterior resection syndrome risk in rectal cancer patients
Prune consumption significantly lowers the risk of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after surgery.
- LARS incidence dropped from 74.6% to 27.3% with daily prune intake (p<0.001).
- Major LARS occurrence decreased from 61.9% to 18.2% (p<0.001).
Consider recommending prunes to enhance recovery and improve patient quality of life post-surgery.
- Patients consuming prunes reported fewer symptoms like constipation and sleep disturbances.
