Figure 1 Comparison of scores at baseline and at a 12-mo follow-up. A: Comparison of constipation scoring system (CSS) scores; B: Comparison of Longo’s obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) scores; C: Comparison of symptom severity (SS) scores; D: Comparison of visual analog scale (VAS) scores. A significant reduction in the CSS, ODS, SS and VAS scores was observed at 12 mo after surgery as compared with baseline (paired t test , ^bP < 0.0001).
