Summary
This study looked at whether a surgery called STARR, which helps people with severe constipation caused by a rectocele or intussusception, also damages the anal sphincter. Nine adults who had the surgery were tested before and three months after using a special balloon probe (EndoFLIP) to measure sphincter function. The goal was to find out if the surgery causes incontinence or urgency, so doctors can improve the procedure for future patients.
