Unpacks Obstructive Defecation Syndrome (ODS), starting with the absolute necessity of pelvic floor biofeedback over surgical intervention for dyssynergic defecation. It details the strict millimeter-based grading systems for structural defects like rectoceles and enteroceles. The operative discussion highlights the abandonment of the STARR procedure due to a 40% long-term recurrence rate, instead favoring laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy for internal prolapse and transvaginal native tissue repairs for rectoceles.
