Key Points The distal colon has a natural “brake” (the rectosigmoid brake) that controls how quickly stool enters the rectum, helping prevent urgency and maintain continence. When this brake misfires, different problems can result: after colorectal surgery it may become overactive and delay recovery; when weakened or removed it can lead to urgency or incontinence. This brake is a promising, measurable sign to guide care: it can be boosted by sacral nerve stimulation, and new non-invasive tests may help doctors track it to predict recovery and tailor treatment.

This morning, as I was wiping, my thoughts went to trump. Maybe, just maybe the diaper isn’t just for incontinence…Maybe he just can’t reach. And that gave me solace. I can do what the “president” can’t.
