Meta‐analysis of the prevalence of major low anterior resection syndrome after transanal versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision A Mantel–Haenszel random‐effects model was used for meta‐analysis. Risk ratios are shown with 95 per cent confidence intervals. The longest follow‐up data for each study were used. If a study favours laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME), fewer patients experienced major low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in this group. TaTME, transanal total mesorectal excision.
