Abstract:
Late effects after gastrointestinal surgery are persistent symptoms or functional impairments that affect patients' quality of life following both benign and malignant treatment. The article provides an overview of the most common late effects in typical procedures. Examples include chronic pain, defecation issues, nutritional deficiencies, dumping, stoma-related problems, sexual dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Systematic follow-up, early detection, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation are key measures to reduce the burden of late effects and improve patients' function and quality of life, as argued in this review.
