Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aims: To assess if rectal irrigation improves patient symptoms and quality of life in patients with LARS and to see if the treatment is acceptable to patients.

Methods: This is a mixed methods evaluation study on functional outcomes in patients who have undergone anterior resection for rectal neoplasia and who have had bowel continuity restored between Jan 2009 and Jan 2014. Those patients deemed to have LARS who consent to participation in the study will be offered rectal irrigation.
