Background: There is a lack of valid and specific tools to measure chronic constipation severity in Brazil.
Aims: To validate the Constipation Scoring System for Brazilian spoken Portuguese.
Methods: Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation itself (reliability and convergent and divergent validation).
Purpose: Factors associated with increased intra-abdominal pressure such as chronic cough, morbid obesity, and constipation may be related to pelvic floor dysfunction. In this study, we compared anorectal manometry values and clinical data of class II and III morbidly obese patients referred to bariatric surgery with that of non-obese patients.
Methods: We performed a case-matched study between obese patients referred to bariatric surgery and non-obese patients without anorectal complaints.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of self-reported constipation and associated factors in the general population of a Brazilian city.
Method: Secondary analysis of an epidemiological study, population-based, cross-sectional study, about bowel habits of Brazilian population. A total of 2,162 individuals were interviewed using two instruments: sociodemographic data and the adapted and validated Brazilian version of the "Bowel Function in the Community" tool.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of self-reported fecal incontinence (FI) in a sample of community-dwelling adults residing in an urban area of southern Brazil. The study also aimed to determine the demographic and clinical factors associated with FI.
Design: This secondary data analysis used an exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional design to guide data collection and analysis.
Objective: Perineal prostatectomy has been proposed as a less invasive and safe procedure, but the risk of anal incontinence has been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of perineal access on anal continence mechanisms after perineal prostatectomy.
Methods: From August 2008 to May 2009, twenty three patients underwent perineal prostatectomy.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate manometric parameters that may explain improvement in anal incontinence using a silicone bulking agent.
Methods: Incontinent patients having internal sphincter defects were prospectively selected and injected with a silicone bulking agent. Manometry and endoanal ultrasound were performed before and 3 months after injections.
Background/aims: Perineal rectosigmoidectomy has gained acceptance as a valid alternative to treat rectal procidentia with the advantage of decreased surgical risk, shorter recovery time, and lower complication rates when compared to abdominal approaches, although controversies still exist about its recurrence rates and functional results. This study aimed to evaluate the results of perineal rectosigmoidectomy combined with repair of the levator ani muscles to treat rectal procidentia.
Methodology: Forty-four patients who underwent perineal rectosigmoidectomy with levatorplasty for rectal procidentia between 1985 and 2000 were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Anal incontinence causes physical and psychological incapacity, determining impact on quality of life. However, there are no specific tools to quantify this impact in our population.
Aim: The evaluation of quality of life in anal incontinence, through validation of the FIQL ("Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale").
