| Popis: | Twenty-two patients with functional obstructive defaecation were compared with seven patients with slow transit constipation using isotope proctography. The obstructive defaecation patients were unable to perform a complete rectal evacuation (% of the activity evacuated: 54%). The defaecation time in this group was prolonged (120 s) with a lower defaecation rate (0.5%/s) compared with the slow transit constipation subjects (32 s and 1.8%/s). The anorectal angle (ARA) on straining did not change in the obstructive defaecation patients but became more obtuse in the slow transit constipation subjects (P |
