Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS) describes a condition which is characterized by chronic constipation. The symptoms of ODS include abdominal pain or cramping, irregular bowel frequency and the feeling of not having emptied the rectum. ODS is usually associated with internal rectal prolapse and/or rectocele. For surgical treatment of ODS, a plethora of surgical techniques have been described with no one method having been assessed as a gold standard.
A new surgical procedure - Transtar - has been introduced in Europe recently. The goal of this registry is to assess safety, effectiveness and patient quality of life, associated with Transtar for chronic constipation due to morphological changes, such as internal rectal prolapse and rectocele.
