| Abstract: | Purpose. To evaluate indications in the patients referred for defecography to our Institute between October 1996 and December 1999. Patients and methods. Inthis period, 35 patients (31 women and 4 men, their mean age being 56,5 and34,5 years, respectively) with defecation disorders disorders of 1 months to 17 years of duration were referred to us for defecography - 26 from proctology specialists and 9 from internal medical out-patient departments. After the rectum was filled with thick barium paste, spot shots from lateral position were made in different phases of defecation, with the patient sittingon a specially designed commode. Results. Rectocele was found in 21 cases, in 9 cases in association with rectorectal intussusception, in 3 with rectoanal intussusception and in 2 with herniation of rectal wall into ishiorectal fossa. Prolapse was found in 2 cases, and 4 rectorectal intussusception, 1 rectoanal intussusception and 3 fistulas were diagnosed. The findings were normal in only one case, while in 3 cases defectography showed functional abnormalities. In female patients, symptoms started after gynaecological operation in 11 cases and 6 cases after delivery. Eight women had to press perineum with their hand to faciliate defecation. Conclusions. Defecography proved useful in clarifying the pathology underlying patient's difficulties. |
