Core Tip Postoperative anorectal dysfunction is one of the most difficult problems associated with sphincter-preserving surgery for low rectal cancer after temporary fecal diversion. In this retrospective study we demonstrate that a preoperative and postoperative structured pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation program enhances anorectal manometric parameters in addition to fecal continence and bowel function recovery as well as quality of life. These results reinforce the routine integration of pelvic floor rehabilitation in postoperative care in order to optimize functional outcomes for these patients.
