AbstractObstructed defecation is one of the causes of chronic constipation. Clinical tests suggest that patients with obstructed defecation have impaired pelvic floor function. Appropriate management relies on proper identification of the underlying pathophysiology.

Imaging of obstructed defecation
Clinical Radiology, 2008Constipation is a common problem in the western world, which occurs as a consequence of impaired colonic transit and/or due to obstructed defecation. Imaging plays an important role in distinguishing structural from functional causes of constipation.

Pediatrics, 1988
To the Editor.— The recent article by Loening-Baucke et al helps our understanding of defecation dynamics. However, her recommendation that "children with encopresis should have their rectal sensation and their ability to defecate balloons evaluated" (p 678) seems like diagnostic overkill. 1.

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2001
Dyssynergic defecation is a common clinical problem that affects half of patients with chronic constipation. In many patients, there is a significant overlap with slow transit constipation. The chief underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is a failure of rectoanal coordination.

Defecation is a reflex provoked through a sacral arc by distention of the rectum. In infancy, the evacuation of the rectum occurs reflexly. The development of the control over defecation reflex is associated with the growth of inhibition over it. The cerebral cortex cannot only inhibit the reflex but can also initiate it when suitable circumstances are

Diagnosis of disturbances of continence and defecation [PDF]
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1984 Defecography was performed in 60 patients with disorders of continence or defecation in whom previous investigative procedures had not revealed any abnormality that could explain the disorder. A correct diagnosis was made in 47 patients (78%). Defecography appears to be a suitable procedure to detect functional disturbances of defecation.

Defecation-induced bronchospasm
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2000Acute asthma exacerbations are common. Patients with asthma experience symptoms in response to a wide variety of stimuli, and identifying the precipitating cause may be useful in guiding treatment and preventing future attacks. A case of asthma exacerbation occurring during multiple defecations is reported.

Studies on the Defecation Reflex in Man
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1972In patients with cecostomies and in patients with urinary bladder substitutes obtained from either the sigmoid colon or the cecum, the motor activity in different parts of the large bowel was recorded with the aid of open tip tubes and a pressure-recording apparatus after administration of a contact laxative (Dulcolax®).

In-Utero Defecation: Fact or Fiction?
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1999An experimental study was performed to investigate the gastrointestinal motility and in-utero defecation by radionuclide techniques. Forty-eight New-Zealand white rabbit fetuses at 25 days' gestation (fullterm, 31 to 32 days) were divided into two groups as A (n: 24) and B (n: 24).

Obstructed Defecation Syndrome
2020Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a broad term, and it is usually associated with “difficulty in evacuation”, but frequently also with defecatory dysfunction and/or constipation. These disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practice and it is estimated to affect about 20% of the population.
