“…The extent of perineal descent appears to be the predictor of response to retraining because patients who respond to pelvic floor retraining and biofeedback have less perineal descent (mean 3.3 cm) than those who do not respond (mean 4.9 cm) [4]. Literature data suggest that rehabilitative treatment can also play a role in DPS patients with symptoms of fecal incontinence: The continence improves, and the Wexner incontinence score significantly decreases [37,38]. However, some patients do not respond to rehabilitation and such failures may depend on both the disease stage and the severity of combined rectal disease.…”

“…In recent years, there had been increased interest in pelviperineal rehabilitation [17][18][19], which teaches patients how to relax the pelvic floor muscles during attempted defecation [20][21][22]. Previous studies on the use of rehabilitation techniques, such as biofeedback, muscular training and electrostimulation, reported success rates between 47% [23] and 100% [17].…”
