Transanal Irrigation for the Management of Early Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) (NCT07219745)
Transanal Irrigation for the Management of Early Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Transanal irrigation (TAI) has shown to improve fecal incontinence and increase quality of life in patients with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). This trial is a small study being conducted to determine whether a larger trial is feasible. Investigators are also doing this research to see if TAI impacts quality of life and improves bowel function within the early post-operative period (1-12 months). This treatment is designed for participants to have more control over their bowel movements and reduce the dependency on immediate access to the toilet.
