An unusual cause of obstructed defecation
Techniques in Coloproctology, 2009Obstructed defecation is one subtype of constipation, and may be due to functional or mechanical causes. Here, we report an unusual cause, never described before, of obstructed defecation due to a large uterine myoma that reverted to normal bowel habits after surgery. The importance of an accurate evaluation of the causes of constipation is highlighted,

Obstructed Defecation Syndrome
2014Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a term used to describe the whole complex of mechanical and functional disorders leading to difficult or inadequate rectal emptying. ODS or anorectal outlet obstruction is typically seen in middle-aged, multiparous women. Prevalence ranges from 3.4% in the general population up to 23% in middle-aged women [1, 2].

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2005
Adequate therapy of obstructed defecation (pelvic outlet obstruction) is often challenging, as the etiology and clinical symptoms include a wide range of disorders. Standardized diagnostic assessment has to differentiate between obstructed defecation caused by either pelvic outlet obstruction or slow transit constipation.

Functional Constipation and Obstructed Defecation
Surgical Clinics of North AmericaConstipation encompasses symptoms of decreased colonic motility or difficulty with the defecation process. As a broad definition, this can be inclusive of functional constipation (FC) or colonic inertia, obstructed defecation (OD), and irritable bowel syndrome-constipation type (IBS-CS).

Update on obstructed defecation syndrome
Saudi Surgical Journal, 2021The most common cause leading to primary constipation is obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). Anatomical disorders in the pelvic floor region (rectocele, enterocoele, rectal intussusception, and rectal prolapse) result in ODS. However, it always occurs in combination with a functional defect of defecation.

Obstructive Defecation: A Failure of Rectoanal Coordination
American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1998The pathophysiology of obstructive defecation is unclear. We investigated whether impaired rectoanal coordination causes obstructive defecation and if this dysfunction can be corrected by biofeedback therapy.We prospectively studied 25 healthy subjects and 35 consecutive patients with constipation (>1 year) with anorectal manometry and balloon ...
