Constipation is characterized by infrequent bowel movements, leading to the passage of hard, dry, and lumpy stools that are challenging or painful to expel. It is defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week. While occasional constipation is more prevalent, some individuals experience chronic constipation, which can significantly impede daily activities. Those with chronic constipation may also engage in excessive straining during bowel movements. Occasional constipation is a common experience, usually resolving without serious implications after a short duration. However, if severe pain, blood in stools, or constipation persists for more than three weeks, it is advisable to consult with a doctor.
In the majority of constipation cases, medical intervention is seldom necessary, and lifestyle adjustments and dietary modifications often suffice to provide relief. Conservative measures, such as altering toilet posture, incorporating pre and probiotics, engaging in pelvic muscle training, maintaining regular exercise, and using stool softeners, are effective in many instances.
When conservative treatments prove ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered, contingent on the underlying cause of constipation. Major subgroups contributing to constipation include normal transit constipation, slow transit constipation, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Surgery may be beneficial in cases involving blockages, anal fissures, or rectal prolapse.
In situations where dietary changes and laxatives offer no relief, Obstructed Defaecation Syndrome (ODS) may be present. When ODS is associated with structural anomalies such as prolapse, STAPLED TRANS ANAL RECTAL RESECTION (STARR), introduced by the renowned colorectal surgeon Dr. Antonio Longo, has shown beneficial results. The performance of STARR significantly improves constipation in individuals with this condition.
Dr. Ashwin Porwal holds the distinction of being the first surgeon to conduct STARR Surgery in Maharashtra and among the pioneers in the country.
Having received training directly under Dr. Longo, Dr. Porwal has acquired comprehensive expertise in this surgical procedure.

The clinic has also contributed to the knowledge base by presenting papers on STARR surgery at various national and international conferences.
One noteworthy achievement is the publication of an abstract titled ‘Obstructed Deflection Syndrome cured with STARR Procedure: A case series of 100 consecutive patients’ in Colorectal Disease. This abstract was featured in Volume 15, Supplements 3, Oct 2013, the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, European Society of Coloproctology.
