Abstract: Twenty two patients with outlet obstructive constipation (OOC) underwent pelvic fourcontrast defecography preoperatively and postoperatively. Functional outcome and the findings on defecography were analyzed. The inconsistent signs between preoperative and postoperative defecography findings were shown in all patients. Some new abnormal findings, including 5 cases with pelvic floor hernia, 4 with cystocele, 4 with vagina prolapse, 3 with uterine prolapse,2 with rectal prolapsed and 1 with spastic pelvic floor syndrome were present in 5 patients with ineffective surgical treatment and 9 patients with effective surgical treatment. Reduced abnormal signs were showed in the 9 effective patients, but other new abnormalities appeared. The abnormal signs were reduced or disappeared in 8 obviously effective patients and there were no new abnormalities present in those patients. Results indicate that pelvic four-contrast defecography can provide valuable information for patients with OOC postoperatively.
