Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Peristeen® Transanal irrigation system with the conic catheterStandard reusable enema

Peristeen® Transanal irrigation system with the conic catheter: The High-TAI (400-1000ml) will be self-performed using the Peristeen® Transanal irrigation system with the conic catheter every 48 hours during the first two week of treatment. Then patients could change frequency and volume of TAI depending on their needs and/or preference. The Low-TAI will be self-performed using a standard 250ml water enema every 48 hours during the first two week of treatment. Then patients could change frequency of TAI depending on their needs and/or preference.

Standard reusable enema: The High-TAI (400-1000ml) will be self-performed using the Peristeen® Transanal irrigation system with the conic catheter every 48 hours during the first two week of treatment. Then patients could change frequency and volume of TAI depending on their needs and/or preference. The Low-TAI will be self-performed using a standard 250ml water enema every 48 hours during the first two week of treatment. Then patients could change frequency of TAI depending on their needs and/or preference.

Study summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the high-volume transanal irrigation (TAI) performed by the Peristeen Plus® system is superior to the low-volume TAI performed by standard 250ml water enema for the treatment of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS).
