Transanal Irrigation for the Management of Early Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS)

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.
