Women may develop constipation after hysterectomy. The pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. They may originate from either neural damage of rectum and colon or changes in anatomical constellation of the remaining pelvic organs. The aim of this study is to evaluate sensory and motor functions of rectum and colon in women with newly developed constipation after hysterectomy in comparison with women without constipation and healthy controls after hysterectomy .
