- Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the courses in this module, students will have acquired specialized knowledge regarding functional disorders of the colon and anorectal region. Students will have been taught the functional disorders that involve irritable bowel syndrome, constipation by presenting the most up-to-date data and through interactive discussion of clinical cases. This module will present data that apply to functional disorders of the anorectal region and more specifically to fecal incontinence and obstructive dyschesia. The etiology and pathophysiology of incontinence will be analyzed and conservative and invasive treatment methods will be presented. Students will also acquire knowledge regarding the pathophysiology, functional study methods, imaging investigation as well as therapeutic approaches for obstructive constipation syndrome. Students will also gain knowledge about defecation dyssynergia and will be given the opportunity to test the acquired knowledge through a discussion of clinical cases.
