Article Synopsis
- The trial aims to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor rehabilitation in preventing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in patients who undergo sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery.
- The study involves 174 participants randomly assigned to either a rehabilitation group (receiving pelvic floor therapy) or a control group (receiving standard care) before closing their defunctioning stoma, with outcomes measured at multiple time points to track LARS severity and quality of life.
- The conclusion suggests that pelvic floor rehabilitation, including anal exercises and biofeedback, could significantly improve symptom management and quality of life for these patients, with an emphasis on safety and minimal risks involved.
Background: Since the development and publication of diagnostic criteria for pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndrome in 2008, no comprehensive work has been published on the clinical knowledge in the management of this condition. The aim of this work was to develop recommendations on the diagnosis and the management of PNE.
Methods: The methodology of this study was based on French High Authority for Health Method for the development of good practice and the literature review was based on the PRISMA method.

Methods: Patients with anal incontinence and a Wexner score >4 were randomly assigned to standard conservative treatment (control) or perineal retraining, including biofeedback, in addition to standard treatments (biofeedback).
Aim: The aim of this study was to study a cohort of patients with faecal incontinence (FI) to gain a better insight into the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of this pathology and its repercussions on quality of life (QL).
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients with FI seen at tertiary centres filled in a self-questionnaire. The severity of FI, constipation and urinary incontinence (UI) was evaluated, respectively, by the Jorge and Wexner score, the Knowles-Eccersley-Scott Symptom score and the Urological Distress Inventory score.
