Six common clinical scenarios of ODS were captured, including details on patient\u2019s anal sphincter function and presence of rectocele and\/or rectal intussusception. Perineal repair, ventral rectopexy (VRP), transanal repair (internal Delorme), stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR), Contour Transtar, and transvaginal repair were considered in each clinical scenario.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-five centers were included providing data on 2943 surgical patients. Procedure volumes ranged from 10\u201320 (54%) to 21\u201350 (46%) per year across centers. The most performed techniques in patients with good sphincter function were transanal repair for isolated rectocele (243\/716 [34%]), transanal repair for isolated rectal intussusception (287\/677 [42%]) and VRP for combined abnormalities (464\/976 [48%]). When considering poor sphincter function, these were perineal repair (112\/194 [57.8%]) for isolated rectocele, and VRP for the other two scenarios (60\/120 [50%] and 97\/260 [37%], respectively). The use of STARR and Contour Transtar decreased over time in patients with impaired sphincter function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The complexity of ODS treatment is confirmed by the variety of clinical scenarios that can occur and by the changing trend of surgical management over the last 10\u00a0years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-022-02705-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,14]],"date-time":"2022-09-14T14:02:53Z","timestamp":1663164173000},"page":"963-971","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Time trend in the surgical management of obstructed defecation syndrome: a multicenter experience on behalf of the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR)"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Picciariello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Rinaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5372-2873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"U.","family":"Grossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Trompetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Graziano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.
