This trial tests a special enema program to help people with ongoing bowel problems (called LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. If standard treatments haven't worked, this program might offer a new way to manage symptoms like urgency and leakage.
This study tests whether giving a special enema in two directions (from above and below) after specific rectal cancer surgery can help prevent a common problem called low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), which affects bowel control and quality of life. If you're having this surgery, the trial may help you keep better bowel function.
This trial studies whether doing Kegel exercises with biofeedback (a technique that helps you see how your muscles are working) can improve bowel function, reduce emotional distress, and boost quality of life after rectal cancer surgery.
This study tests two ways of giving back the fluid from your small intestine (ileal contents) through an enema or reinfusion before your ileostomy is closed. The goal is to see which method helps your bowel movements return to normal after rectal cancer surgery.
