Outlet Obstruction, Rectocele & Intussusception
Causes, Symptoms, and Modern Treatment Options
Patients with defecation disorders such as outlet obstruction (ODS), rectocele, rectal intussusception, or obstructive constipation often suffer for months or even years before the correct diagnosis is made by a specialized expert.
Common symptoms include:
- A constant sensation of incomplete evacuation
- Repeated attempts to empty the bowels
- A feeling that stool remains in the rectum
I take plenty of time for a thorough and detailed diagnostic process to fully understand your condition. In many cases, conservative treatments — such as pelvic floor training — can lead to significant improvement. If symptoms persist despite initial therapy, further evaluation with radiological tests like defecography may be helpful.
Should surgery become necessary, we will decide together on the best approach: either a minimally invasive abdominal procedure (mesh rectopexy) or a transanal technique, depending on the specific condition. The ultimate goal is to relieve your symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
