Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Exercise to Prevent LARS (Low Anterior Resection Syndrome) After Mini-invasive Low Anterior Resection in Patients With Rectal Cancer

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The main aim of this randomized study will be to determine the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises on the incidence or severity of LAR syndrome in patients after mini-invasive rectal resection. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does pelvic floor exercise after low anterior resection prevent LARS (low anterior resection syndrome)? * What is the adherence of patients to prescribed home exercise after surgery? * Quality of life after LAR Researchers will compare the group of patients with pelvic floor exercises to those without and determine the occurrence and severity of LARS. Participants will: * under the professional guidance of a physiotherapist, the day before surgery and in the first 4 postoperative days be educated to exercise the pelvic floor * continue exercise at home for a month (according to the instructions together with the infographic)

Participants
Target number of participants: 50
Treatments
No_intervention: Control group - usual management
This arm will be managed as usual - without specific pelvic floor exercises after surgery, and 1, 6 and 12 months after low anterior resection, patients will be questioned about the possible development of LARS.
Experimental: Intervention group - specific pelvic floor exercise after LAR
This arm will be instructed to exercise pelvic floor after low anterior resection for one month and 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively will be questioned about the possible development of LARS.~One month after surgery they will also be questioned about adherence to prescribed exercise.
