Brief Summary:
The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of physiotherapy applications in children with bladder and bowel symptoms after anorectal malformation surgery.
Detailed Description:
Anorectal malformation (ARM) is a congenital anomaly in which the rectum and anus of the developing fetus fail to form normally before birth. The main treatment for ARM is surgery. However, various complications may occur in these children after surgery due to disruption of the muscular structure, nerve damage and weakness of the sphincters. These complications include fecal incontinence, chronic constipation, difficulty in defecation and abdominal pain. Constipation and fecal incontinence can be seen quite frequently in these individuals. Sometimes these symptoms may be accompanied by additional bladder problems (urinary incontinence etc.). Bowel training, dietary recommendations, toilet training, enemas, medications and physiotherapy applications can be used in the management of fecal incontinence and constipation. In the literature, there are limited number of studies evaluating physiotherapy applications in the management of postoperative bladder bowel symptoms in children with ARM.
