Explore: Defecography

Defecography (also known as proctography, defecating/defecation proctography, evacuating/evacuation proctography or dynamic rectal examination) is a type

externally and can only be detected with investigations like proctoscopy or defecography. External rectal prolapse is a full thickness, circumferential prolapse

height of intussusception from the anal canal is usually estimated by defecography. Recto-rectal (high) intussusception (intra-rectal intussusception) is

anorectal manometry (balloon expulsion test and anal sphincter EMG), defecography studies, and digital rectal examinations (DRE). Anorectal manometry involves

sphincter tone. Fluoroscopic defecography (FD), evacuation proctography, or dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MR defecography, MRD) may be used to evaluate

cm below this imaginary line, or it descends 3–4 cm during straining. Defecography may also demonstrate abnormal perineal descent. Surgical treatments may

Conventional defecography or magnetic resonance defecography may be used. Between 50-100% of patients with SRUS will have abnormal defecography results. Defecography
