[Self-control study of dynamic multiple pelvic angiography and pelvic four-contrast defecography in the diagnosis of functional defecation disorder].

Objective: To evaluate and compare the value of dynamic multiple pelvic angiography and pelvic four-contrast defecography in the diagnosis of functional defecation disorder.

Methods: From September 2014 to July 2015, a prospective controlled trial was carried out in Chengdu Anorectal Hospital. A total of 32 patients met the inclusion criteria of functional defecation disorder simultaneously underwent pelvic four-contrast defecography and dynamic multiple pelvic angiography. The diagnostic results of these two methods were compared.

Results: The absolute values of anorectal angle and level of perineum, peritoneum and bladder from rest to defecation were (29.6±13.6)°, (26.2±14.2) mm, (55.5±25.6) mm and (28.9±16.5) mm in dynamic multiple pelvic angiography, and (24.6±5.8)° (18.7±10.6) mm, (34.5±18.4) mm and (19.2±11.8) mm in pelvic four-contrast defecography respectively, whose differences were statistically significant (P = 0.026, 0.022, 0.000, 0.011 respectively). The diagnostic rate of pelvic peritoneal hernia was 93.8%(30/32) and 68.8%(22/32) in dynamic multiple pelvic angiography and pelvic four-contrast defecography respectively with significant difference(P=0.011).

Conclusion: Dynamic multiple pelvic angiography has significant advantage in the diagnosis of pelvic peritoneal hernia, and can provide a more objective basis for the diagnosis of functional defecation disorder.
