The medical community has failed to focus enough attention on this condition, which remains a sort of psychosocial taboo, enhancing patient anxiety. Defecatory distur- bance classified according to cause and location can fall into one of four groups: 1) Endocrine abnormalities; 2) Disturbances of colonic origin that result from the long-term use of antihypertensive drugs or antidepressants or from circadian rhythm disturbances that occur with skipping breakfast or lower dietary -

The Efficacy of a Multidisciplinary Approach to the Management of Constipation: a Case Series
Journal of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women’s Health, Spring 2008, 102, 36–44 CLINICAL PAPER The efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of constipation: a case series R. W. C. Leung, B. K. Y. Fung & L. C. W. Fung Physiotherapy Department, Kwong Wah Hospital, Hong Kong W. C. S. Meng, P. Y. Y. Lau & A. W. C. Yip Department of Surgery, Kwong Wah Hospital, Hong Kong Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate a rehabilitative programme including biofeedback training for the treatment of chronic constipation. A prospective series of patients with constipation, as defined by the Rome II diagnostic criteria, were assessed by a clinician, a dietitian and a physiotherapist. Anorectal physi- ology investigations and defecography were performed prior to and after the programme. The treatment involved consultation by the dietitian, postural re-education and pelvic floor re-education regarding the proper pattern of defecation. The subjects were followed up in alternate weeks for the first 3 months and then monthly for another 3 months. Twenty patients have been recruited into the programme since 2005. Ten subjects have completed the course of treatment and three have defaulted; the remaining seven were still undergoing treatment at the time of writing. On completion of the programme, there was a significant improvement in fibre intake (pre-treatment=12.9191.06 g; post-treatment= 20.2661.064 g; P=0.001), average straining effort (pre-treatment=6.360.391; post-treatment=3.720.391; P=0.001) and average straining time (pre- treatment=17.612.172 min; post-treatment=6.002.172 min; P=0.004). -

Outlet obstruction (disorder of defecatory or rectal evacuation), caused by intussusception, enterocele or spastic pelvic floor syndrome. 2. To distinguish between anterior rectocele and enterocele. 3. Fecal incontinence combined with outlet obstruction in intra-anal intussusception. 6 1/15/2019 Preparation • No bowel preparation was used • It was deemed more physiological to observe how anorectal morphology altered during defaecation without preparation. • Two hours prior to the examination the patient ingests 135 ml of liquid barium contrast to opacify the small bowel. • In females the vagina is coated with 30 ml amidotrizoic acid 50% solution gel. • The use of tampons and gauzes soaked in barium should be avoided, because they can impaire pelvic-function. LEFT: Pathology is suspected because of a great distance between rectum and vagina. No oral contrast had been given. RIGHT: After ingestion of liquid barium contrast a large enterocele is seen. -
Reoperative Techniques and Management in Hirschsprung Disease: a Narrative Review

Abstract: The majority of children who undergo operative management for Hirschsprung disease have favorable results. A subset of patients, however, have long-term dysfunctional stooling, characterized by either frequent soiling or obstructive symptoms. The evaluation and management of a child with poor function after pull-through for Hirschsprung disease should be conducted by an experienced multidisciplinary team. A systematic workup is focused on detecting pathologic and anatomic causes of pull- through dysfunction. This includes an exam under anesthesia, pathologic confirmation including a repeat biopsy, and a contrast enema, with additional studies depending on the suspected etiology. Obstructive symptoms may be due to technique-specific types of mechanical obstruction, histopathologic obstruction, or dysmotility—each of which may benefit from reoperative surgery. The causes of soiling symptoms include loss of the dentate line and damage to the anal sphincter, which generally do not benefit from revision of the pull-through, and pseudo-incontinence, which may reveal underlying obstruction. A thorough understanding of the types of complications associated with various pull-through techniques aids in the evaluation of a child with postoperative dysfunction. -

In contrast, Rectal diverticulum rectal diverticular disease is a rare condition with very few cases reported, while symptomatic rectal diverticular Abscess disease is even rarer. We present a case of a symptomatic large rectal diverticulum presenting with a retrorectal Diverticulitis abscess. A 49-year-old Caucasian female was brought to the emergency department complaining of abdominal Complications pain and weakness in the lower limbs. She was found to have obstructive uropathy and unilateral sciatic neu- ropathy. She rapidly developed acute abdomen and emergency laparotomy revealed a giant purulent rectal diverticulum. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and a loop colostomy was made to decompress the colon. 1. Introduction Neurologic examination revealed asymmetric paraparesis and hy- poesthesia in the lower limbs, affecting hip extension, knee flexion, Despite the high incidence of colonic diverticular disease, the oc- ankle dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, eversion and big toe extension, with currence of rectal diverticula is extremely unusual, with only few, brisk tendon reflexes in the knees but absent in the ankle, in keeping sporadic published reports since 1911 [11]. -

To elucidate this in vivo function, mice were analyzed in which an HGF/SF transgene was overexpressed throughout the digestive tract. Nearly a third of all HGF/SF transgenic mice in this study (28 of 87) died by 6 months of age as a result of sporadic intestinal obstruction of unknown etiology. Enteric ganglia were not overtly affected, indicating that the pathogenesis of this intestinal lesion was different from that operating in Hirschsprung’s disease. Transgenic mice also exhibited a rectal inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with a high incidence of anorectal prolapse. Expression of interleukin-2 was decreased in the transgenic colon, indicating that HGF/SF may influence regulation of the local intestinal immune system within the colon. These results suggest that HGF/SF plays an important role in the development of gastrointestinal paresis and chronic intestinal inflammation. -

It highlights the underlying patho physiology, anatomic pathology Keywords and clinical evaluation. Past and present treatment options are discussed including • Rectal prolapsed important surgical anatomic concepts. Complications and outcomes are addressed. • Incarcerated rectal prolapse INTRODUCTION Rectal prolapse has existed in the human experience since the time of antiquities. References to falling down of the rectum are known to appear in the Ebers Papyrus as early as 1500 B.C., as well as in the Bible and in the writings of Hippocrates (Figure 1) [1]. Etiology • The precise causation of rectal prolapse is ill defined. Clearly, five anatomic pathologic elements may be observed in association with this condition:Diastasis of Figure 1 surrounded by circular folds of rectal mucosa. the levator ani A classic full-thickness rectal prolapse with the central “rosette” • A deep cul-de-sac • Ano-recto-colonic redundancy • A patulous anus • Loss of fixation of the rectum to its sacral attachments. -
