Abstract: Dynamic 3-dimensional transvaginal and transrectal ultrasonography is a simple and fast ultrasound technique that shows strong agreement with echodefecography and may be used as an alternative method to assess patients with obstructed defecation syndrome.

“…The EDF can show clear floor muscle and anatomic structure and is considered as an ideal method to diagnose the pelvic floor diseases compared with X-ray defeography. [10][11][12][13][14] . Xue et al [15] used EDF to study functional anal pain.…”

“…Although a good correlation of ultrasound and proctologic measurements has been secured the lack of the ultrasound marker and examiner dependency are the most critical drawbacks [19,20]. The entire pelvic floor can be simply and reliably examined non-invasively by the transperineal pelvic floor 3D sonography assessment [19][20][21][22][23][24]. All three compartments are dynamically assessed at the same time, increasing the validity [17,25,26].…”

“…Dyssynergic defecation is characterized by incoordination of the abdominal, rectoanal, and pelvic floor muscles leading to difficult or incomplete evacuation [48,49]. The pathophysiological mechanism behind persistent constipation is the failure of the anorectal angle to open and of the perineum to descend as well as of the anal canal to shorten as a result of sustained contraction of the puborectalis muscle [50][51][52].…”
