ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pelvic floor diseases are a health problem not just as an organic affection, but also as a psychic and social implication. Defecography is a radiological technique able to express defecation acts in images. Defecography can determine anatomical and functional change of rectum and anus and the movement of pelvic floor. Method: A descriptive and prospective investigation was undertaken which includes 532 patients who had defecation trouble. The authors modified applied technique was performed in all cases. Results and discussion: The frequent diseases detected by this investigation were: rectocele (77.9%), incomplete evacuation of stool (37.4 %), pelvic floor fall (27.3 %). Our results coincided with the majority of authors consulted. Conclusion: Defecography is an effective radiological method in detection of numerous functional and morphologic alterations of anus and rectum and pelvic floor.
