Authors operated on their Surgical departement 67 years old women with incomplete evacuation, and digital support during defecation, giant rectocele and massive vaginal vault prolaps. Authors realized cinedefecography and detected giant rectocele, depth was 8 cm, anorectal angle was 120 degrees. They stated Resting pressure 40 cm H2O, and Maximum squeeze pressure 50cm H2O by anorectal manometry...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND After sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and postoperative radiochemotherapy, many patients have unsatisfactory anorectal functional results which are not considered by the most common toxicity scales. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively assess the long-term incidence of impaired anorectal function in rectal cancer patients who underwent anterior ...

Constipation is a common problem in children. It can be a symptom of functional disorder in majority of cases, but sometimes a serious organic disease is a cause of constipation. Anorectal manometry plays an important role in the diagnostic procedure. It can be presumed that some values of manometric parameters could be very useful in treatment plan. The aim of this study was to confirm or excl...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive capability of anorectal physiologic tests for unfavorable outcomes prior to the initiation of biofeedback therapy in patients with dyssynergic defecation. We analyzed a total of 80 consecutive patients who received biofeedback therapy for chronic idiopathic functional constipation with dyssynergic defecation. After classifying the patients...

INTRODUCTION The main aim of the study was to apply a severity classification of sphincter lesions detected by endoanal ultrasound using Starck score in patients who suffered faecal incontinence. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data were analysed on 133 patients with faecal incontinence. Those in whom anal sphincter lesions were detected by endoanal ultrasound are described and their corresponding scores...

33 Normal bowel continence is a complex process that involves the coordinated interaction between multiple different neuronal pathways and the pelvic and perineal musculature.1 The importance of the anatomic relationships of the pelvic floor in maintaining normal continence has been suggested since the 1950s.2 Yet the complex series of neural and behavioral-mediated interactions, combined with ...

Aim—The incidence of anorectal symptoms after radiotherapy (RTH) for localised pelvic malignant disease is unclear. In addition, the eVects of pelvic irradiation on both anorectal motility and sensory function are poorly defined. A prospective study was therefore performed on 35 patients (55–82 years of age) with localised prostatic carcinoma before and four to six weeks after RTH to assess its...

BACKGROUND Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening programmes are implemented in many countries to decrease burden of STI and to improve sexual health. Screening for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has a prominent role in these protocols. Most of the screening programmes concerning men having sex with men (MSM) are based on opportunistic urethral testing. In The Netherlan...
