Feasibility Bowel Dysfunction Program After Low Anterior Resection
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Rectal Cancer, Low Anterior Resection
In brief
This study will facilitate a better understanding of the overall experience of our rectal cancer survivors after Low Anterior Resection for rectal cancer. Studies have demonstrated that the development of bowel and genitourinary dysfunction after this procedure is very distressing to patients and can have a significant impact on overall quality of life. By providing interventions that can be performed at home, investigator may alleviate these symptoms in hopes of improving the experience of patients undergoing Low Anterior Resection. By acknowledging these potentially debilitating symptoms in a systematic way, the investigator hopes to reinforce the importance of symptom management in the survivorship phase after treatment has been completed and ultimately facilitate an individual's return to routine activities.
