STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine if @entity1 undergoing presacral neurectomy, hysterectomy, or other gynecologic surgery experience a greater frequency of @entity1142 than those having no surgery. DESIGN: Concurrent, nonrandomized, retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Tertiary medical care center with referral-based practice for the treatment of chronic @entity2371 . @entity1 : Two hundred fifty-six @entity1 forming four groups based on surgical procedure: presacral neurectomy (66), hysterectomy (65), other gynecologic surgery (68), and no surgery (57). INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopic presacral neurectomies. Other gynecologic surgery included laparoscopy, dilatation and curettage, laparoscopic resection of @entity46 , or any combination of these procedures. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Constipation was defined as decrease in frequency of spontaneous bowel movements. A statistically significant greater percentage of @entity1 undergoing surgical procedures were more constipated than those having no surgery: presacral neurectomy, 31.8%; hysterectomy, 27.7%; other gynecologic surgery, 25%; and no gynecologic surgery, 10.5%. CONCLUSION: Pelvic surgery may cause @entity129 leading to @entity1142 . (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(1):75-78, 1999)
