Testing bladder and rectal function after rectal surgery
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows people after rectal surgery to check how well the rectum and urinary (bladder) functions work over time. It may help doctors better understand recovery and what can improve quality of life after surgery.
