Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1995
This study was designed to determine the accuracy of physical examination (as judged by four-contrast defecography) for women with pelvic floor relaxation disorders.Sixty-two women (mean age, 59 years) who had obstructed defecation or constipation, vaginal prolapse, urinary difficulty, or pelvic pain underwent four-contrast defecography. Oral, vaginal,

Defecography and Anal Endosonography [PDF]
, 1999 Disorders of anorectal function can be assessed by many modalities. Imaging studies can complement physiologic studies in order to best diagnose and treat patients with defecatory disorders. Imaging studies provide anatomic delineation and if dynamic in nature can provide functional information.

Prediction of findings at defecography in patients with genital prolapse
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2005Objective Defecography may be useful in pre‐operative assessment of patients with genital prolapse. Defecography is an invasive and embarrassing procedure for patients and little effort has been made to optimalise selection criteria for defecography. This study investigated whether discrimination of high and low probability of abnormal defecography is

Simultaneous defecography and peritoneography in defecation disorders
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1995A number of physiologic and radiologic investigations are used in investigating defecation disorders. Defecography is one important part of these investigations. However, a correct diagnosis of an enterocele is sometimes difficult despite use of contrast media in the rectum, vagina, and small bowel.This study was undertaken to ascertain if it was ...

The reproducibility of measuring the anorectal angle in defecography
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1991Dynamic proctography is a radiographic procedure that has become widely used in the evaluation of pelvic floor function. The anorectal angle (ARA) is one parameter which is usually quantified during this examination. To determine the accuracy with which this measurement can be made, three physicians independently measured the resting and squeezing ARAs

Perineal sonography and fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are currently confronting conventional x-ray studies in the diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse including cystocele, enterocele, peritoneocele, and rectocele, with no evidence of substantial discrepancies among the three modalities.

Practical Performance of Defecography for the Evaluation of Constipation and Incontinence
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2008By opacifying the sigmoid, rectum, and vagina with different barium consistencies and using fluoroscopy to evaluate the mechanics of defecation in a physiologic setting, a wide range of pathologies associated with constipation and incontinence can be diagnosed.

MR Defecography: Depiction of Anorectal Anatomy and Pathology
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1998With the advent of open-configuration MR systems, enabling image acquisition in a vertical patient position, MR defecography has become possible. MR defecography permits analyses of the anorectal angle, opening of the anal canal, functioning of the puborectal muscle, and descent of the pelvic floor during defecation.

[Defecography by spiral computed tomography].
La Radiologia medica, 1999We investigated the possible role of helical CT defecography in pelvic floor disorders by comparing our results with those of conventional defecography.Our series consisted of 90 patients, namely 62 women and 28 men, ranging in age 24-82 years. They were all submitted to conventional defecography, and 18 questionable cases were also studied with ...
