Detailed Description

Much attention has been devoted to children with overflow retentive stool incontinence (ORSI) by the pediatric surgeons, as the referral of such cases from pediatric facilities is constantly increasing. An important initial step in managing these children is the exclusion of Hirschsprung's disease starting by water-soluble contrast enema.

Conservative management of ORIS is generally successful. The aim of the treatment is to achieve and maintain regular bowel movements free of symptoms Laxatives remain the mainstay of maintenance therapy of ORSI; yet, there is no standard laxative therapy despite the varieties of medication currently available. New information to these queries can be beneficial to medical staff involved in managing overflow retentive stool incontinence in pediatrics, Possibly it may add new guideline of treatment with more good result , short time and decrease the laxative dose.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: the control group
This group receives senna-based laxatives.
Experimental: the study group
This group managed by abdominal massage with senna-based laxatives.
Other: Abdominal massage
The patients lying in comfortable relaxed supine position and physiotherapist performed slow circular clockwise movements on the abdomen, throw tangential pushing, with digital pulp, slow and gradual pressure, with fingers inclination 45 degree. The pressure applied to the abdomen on each point for 1 min, beginning with the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid; this sequence was repeated approximately 15 min. The therapist teaches the parents this technique and asked them to apply at home 3 times / day for 15 min.

Time Frame: time till not soiling was assessed at day 0.
Stool soiling (encopresis) happens in children who are toilet trained. It's when they accidentally leak feces (poop) into their underwear. Constipation is one of many causes of stool soiling. Other causes include irritable bowel syndrome or when a child is fearful of the bathroom.
