It Has Become a Part of Me: Living With Low Anterior Resection Syndrome After Ostomy Reversal: A Phenomenological Study

CONCLUSIONS: Twelve to 42 months after stoma reversal, participants had internalized their new living conditions. Their level of acceptance of their situation was substantial. There are indications that a culture of open information before ostomy reversal contributed to being mentally prepared for the situation after surgery. Talking openly about their problems helped participants organize their everyday life.
