Popis: Background/Aims: The pathophysiologic mechanism of rectal hyposensitivity (RH) is not well documented, and the significance of RH in biofeedback therapy (BFT) has not been evaluated. Thus, we aimed to assess the effect of BFT in con-stipated patients according to the presence of RH. Methods: Five hundred and ninety constipated patients (238 males and 352 females) underwent anorectal physiologic assess-ments.
