A retrospective review of 20 rectoceles performed over a four year period (1988-1991) was carried out. The major indication for repair was constipation and outlet obstruction. All patients were objectively quantified by standardized defecography and functional investigations. All patients were repaired via a trans-anal approach using a linear stapler. Sixteen patients were improved with a mean follow-up of 21.8 months.

Hyperammonemic encephalopathy has been reported in patients receiving chemotherapy (CT). It is characterized by abrupt alteration in mental status with markedly elevated plasma ammonium levels in the absence of obvious liver disease. This paper reports seven patients who developed transient hyperammonemia during chemotherapy. The regimens all included continuous infusion of high-dose 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The onset of hyperammonemic encephalopathy was 1.5-4 days after the start of CT. Five cases had infection and six had prerenal azotemia at the time of hyperammonemia. After management, plasma ammonium levels all returned to the normal range within 2 days. Except for one persistent coma, status of consciousness cleared completely. The true mechanism of transient hyperammonemia is unclear. The excess production of ammonium due to metabolites of 5-FU added to precipitating factors such as infection, hypovolemia or constipation may be the explanation for transient hyperammonemia in our study.

BACKGROUND: Chronic constipation may result from many mechanisms including colonic inertia or rectosigmoid outlet delay, but risk factors for constipation in the community are poorly defined. The prevalence of and predictors for symptoms consistent with functional constipation and outlet delay were estimated. METHODS: An age- and gender-stratified random sample of 1,021 residents of Olmsted County, MN, aged 30-64 years, was mailed a valid self-report questionnaire; 835 responded (82%). These respondents were mailed a second questionnaire 12-20 months later that gathered data on symptoms compatible with functional constipation and outlet delay; 690 responded (83%). RESULTS: Self-reported constipation did not reliably identify functional constipation or outlet delay. The overall age- and gender-adjusted prevalences (per 100) of functional constipation and outlet delay were 19.2 (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.1-22.3) and 11.0 (95% CI, 8.7-13.3), respectively. Outlet delay but not functional constipation was more frequent in women. After adjusting for age, gender, and other symptoms, an increased usage of aspirin was associated with functional constipation but not outlet delay. CONCLUSIONS: In apparently healthy middle-aged persons, approximately 1 in 5 have symptoms compatible with functional constipation, and 1 in 10 may experience outlet delay, but these groups correspond poorly with self-reported constipation.
