Filter by:The International Center for Colorectal and Urogenital Care at Children's Hospital Colorado treats patients who suffer from many different colorectal issues such as anorectal malformation, Hirschsprung disease, and severe constipation. Many of these patients suffer from fecal incontinence. The investigators have developed a week long bowel management program (BMP) that is offered every month to help these kids stay clean of stool in the underwear, by finding the perfect enema recipe to clean the colon for 24 hours. This allows one to perform an enema once every day, clean their colon, and remain free of 'accidents'. Many spina bifida patients also suffer from fecal incontinence and are referred to this BMP. The overall success rate for all patients who suffer from fecal incontinence is 95%, however the success rate for spina bifida patients is only 77%. The reason for this decrease in success is due to the lack of anal sphincter tone in spina bifida patients, which leads to inadvertent leakage and spillage of enema fluid and bowel content during enema administration. The purpose of this study is to create and test an enema administration device that improves upon current methods.
RATIONALE: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers. However, approaches to minimize surgical trauma, preserve anal function, avoid abdominal stoma, and improve quality of life for patients with ultralow rectal cancers were limited. Thus, new technologies are urgently needed to improve the anal preservation rate, reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage and improve postoperative anal function in patients with ultralow rectal cancer. PURPOSE: This one-arm multicenter prospective cohort study aims to collect the data of patients with ultralow rectal cancer who undergo sphincter-preserving surgeries, including modified PPS and conventional surgeries, then compare the effects of different operations on clinical outcomes and to see the efficacy and safety of modified PPS surgery when compared with conventional procedures in the treatment of ultralow rectal cancer.
Faecal incontinence has a broad spectrum of symptoms. Some patients only suffer commonly considered mild symptoms: gas incontinence and soiling, but patients' quality of life is significantly impaired. Although several treatments for faecal incontinence are available, this subgroup of patients are difficult to treat, and no therapeutic alternative has been clearly defined. The aim of this study is to evaluate Gatekeeper™ treatment for this subgroup of patients with faecal incontinence, not studied before. Consecutive case series single-centre study. Patients with mainly soiling and/or gas incontinence were treated with polyacrylonitrile prostheses
To collect physiological signals at several timepoints during the therapy evaluation period.
The incidence of obstetric sphincter tears has risen to 15-30% and the prevalence of anal incontinence (AI) symptoms after childbirth may be as high as 40%. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of anal sphincter defects after childbirth in primiparous women-
This project seeks to understand whether, and how, tailoring an online continence intervention can increase engagement and uptake of health behaviors known to improve bladder and bowel symptoms.
The purpose of the trial is to assess the effect of tadalafil compared to placebo (inactive comparator) on the urethral - and anal pressure and on urine flow in healthy females. Further, the purpose of the trial is to evaluate the potential for going forward with studies of tadalafil in patients suffering from urine or fecal incontinence.
The investigators aim to perform cognitive interviews to assess how pelvic floor disorders impact sexual functioning in women who have sex with women (WSW). As a secondary objective there will be cognitive interviews to assess perceptions of sexual function questionnaires such as Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) in WSW.
To assess the post-market clinical outcomes with use of the Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation System(s).
The purpose of this study is to stablish a correlation between fecal incontinence severity scales (Wexner & St. Mark's) and manometric values obtained using the Anopress® portable manometry and values obtained using endoanal ultrasound in women with fecal incontinence.
