Abstract

Constipation following routine hysterectomy seems to occur more frequently than originally thought. Treatment depends on whether the patient is referred and to whom. Physical examination seems of limited value. Proper protocols for evaluation of complaints after hysterectomy are mandatory. Colonic transit studies and dynamic rectal examination could be useful. We found an overrepresentation of enteroceles in the hysterectomy group. Management of these abnormalities seems much more complicated than was previously thought. Prospective studies are needed to investigate anorectal disorders after hysterectomy.
