The majority of patients will subsequently have disordered bowel function, with symptoms ranging from urgency to faecal incontinence. The symptoms are thought to decrease over time, reaching a plateau 1\u00a0year after surgery. There is a lack of knowledge about patients\u2019 lived experience after 1\u00a0year.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>An explorative qualitative study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In\u2010depth interviews were conducted with ten participants, 12\u201320\u00a0months after surgical closure of a temporary loop ileostomy following rectal cancer surgery. The transcribed interviews were analysed using a phenomenological hermeneutical method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The thematic structural analysis resulted in three themes: living with uncertainty, struggling to live with altered bowel function and a preoccupation with bowel function.

The participants had not yet adapted to their situation but were struggling in solitude to get there, with little or no help from healthcare professionals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>The insight from this study highlights the importance of patients being systematically examined and followed up in regard to functional results and impact of symptoms on everyday life.
