INTRODUCTION: The aim is to evaluate the utility of transanal irrigation such as treatment of incontinence and severe chronic constipation which is refractory to first-line therapy, and to assess its impact into the symptomatology and quality of life.
METHODS: Observational retrospective study of patients with incontinence and chronic constipation that had initiated transanal irrigation in two hospitals of the region. We collect sociodemographic variables, comorbidity, previous treatments, tests, parameters and incidences during the irrigation, and punctuation in the Cleveland Clinic Incontinence and Constipation Scores and EuroQol-5D Quality Of Life Scale before and after the treatment.
RESULTS: 40 patients, 20 with incontinence and 20 with chronic constipation. After an average period of 9 months of treatment, in 14 patients with incontinence we have observed a mean clinical improvement of 7,45 points before-after treatment measured with Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score, and a mean improvement of 23 points in their quality of life before-after treatment measured with EQ5D Scale (P < .001); and in 16 patients with constipation a mean clinical improvement of 7,6 points before-after treatment measured with Cleveland Clinic Constipation Score, and a mean improvement of 31,5 points in their quality of life before-after treatment measured with EQ5D Scale (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: Transanal irrigation is an effective therapy for patients with incontinence and chronic constipation that are refractory to first-line therapies. It's an easy, self-administered and safe procedure. When the patient learns how to use it, the symptomatology and quality of life are improved.
