Pain is the main symptom of the disease, but bowel dysfunctions such as fecal incontinence, constipation and voiding difficulties are also reported. Patients could suffer from a Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS)-like syndrome. Transanal irrigation (TAI), known to alleviate LARS-related symptoms, has been suggested to aid bowel dysfunction in endometriosis patients, potentially facilitating pelvic floor rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We retrospectively collected data from 60 patients with endometriosis and bowel dysfunction who had been prescribed with the Peristeen\n                      <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                      Plus TAI system.

Data analysis performed on 32 patients showed a mean increase of 3.6 points in patient satisfaction after TAI treatment and a mean pain reduction of 1.8 points (both, p-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). LARS score decreased from a mean of 21.9 at baseline to a mean of 12.7 (p-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Accordingly, there was a notable improvement in patients\u2019 QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TAI is a useful treatment for bowel dysfunctions in patients with endometriosis.
