INTRODUCTION – To study the beneficial or harmful impact of continuing Yoga practice on Adverse patient reported outcomes (APROs) following Staples Trans-Anal Resection of the Rectum (STARR) procedure done on patients with Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).

METHODS AND PROCEDURES –A prospective cohort study (April 2008 –June 2009) of APROs of Post-Operative Pain (POP) and Fecal Urge Incontinence (FUI)- following STARR in consenting ODS patients selected and operated following standard diagnostic/ imaging and pre-postoperative protocols respectively. The patients were divided into control (not practicing Yoga) and study (practicing Yoga >3months) groups. Data for POP(100 point visual analogue scale) & FUI (20 point Wexner score) were entered into excel sheet during postoperative evaluation at day-1(D1), day-2(D2), day-3 (D3), week-1(W1), week-3 (W3), month-3 (M3), year-1 (Y1) & year-3 (Y3), for analysis using SPSS17.0. Student’s t-test & chi square test were used for continuous and categorical variables respectively.

All female patients reported a fear of incontinence while sitting in a cross-legged squatting position leading to a felt need to change their traditional working position from a squat to sitting on a chair.

CONCLUSION-Continuing the practice of yoga by patients undergoing STARR has no harmful or beneficial effect on APROs except for FUI related benefit after 3 years.
