Pdf Summary

A study was conducted to assess obstructed defaecation in women undergoing routine surgery for rectocoele, a type of vaginal prolapse. The study found that obstructive defaecation is common among women with rectocoele, affecting the majority of patients. However, in the short-term follow-up after surgery, these symptoms either improved or resolved. The study used the Birmingham bowel function questionnaire to gather data before and after the surgery. The results of the study are not provided in the given document.
