Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study of 39 patients, conducted between January 2012 and February 2014. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, and diagnosis. They were stratified by age, and continuous variables are expressed as mean \u00b1 standard deviation. All possible quantitative defecography variables were evaluated, including rectal evacuation, perineal descent, and measures of the anal canal.  Results: The majority (95%) of the patients were female. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 82 years (mean age, 52 \u00b1 13 years): 10 patients were under 40 years of age; 18 were between 40 and 60 years of age; and 11 were over 60 years of age. All 39 of the patients evaluated had abnormal radiological findings. The most prevalent diagnoses were rectocele (in 77%) and enterocele (in 38%). Less prevalent diagnoses were vaginal prolapse, uterine prolapse, and Meckel's diverticulum (in 2%, for all).  Conclusion: Although defecography is performed more often in women, both genders can benefit from the test. Defecography can be performed in order to detect complex disorders such as uterine and rectal prolapse, as well as to detect basic clinical conditions such as rectocele or enterocele.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0100-3984.2015.0108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,21]],"date-time":"2016-09-21T17:51:44Z","timestamp":1474480304000},"page":"376-381","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Defecography by digital radiography: experience in clinical practice"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Amanda Nogueira de S\u00e1","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco Aur\u00e9lio Sousa","family":"Sala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo Ciotola","family":"Bruno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Alberto Cunha","family":"Xavier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Pio XII,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Mauricio Canavezi","family":"Indiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelo Fontalvo","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo Maur\u00edcio Chagas","family":"Bruno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D'Or\/S\u00e3o Luiz,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelo Souto","family":"Nacif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-39842004000400012","article-title":"Videodefecografia: aspectos t\u00e9cnicos e atuais","volume":"37","author":"Sobrado CW","year":"2004","journal-title":"Radiol Bras"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01887845","article-title":"Defecography: I.
