Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a rare disease which can puzzle the gastroenterologist. A review of the syndrome and new treatment options are discussed. RECENT FINDINGS: Its association with dyssynergia in general supports an important role for pelvic floor biofeedback, which can be successful in patients with SRUS. No other novel. SUMMARY: Awareness of this benign syndrome is important; endoscopic diagnosis and histological confirmation opens the way to a guided lifestyle therapy with regulation of defecation and pelvic floor biofeedback. A reluctance to proceed to surgery seems warranted. VIDEO ABSTRACT.
