Stapled transanal rectal resection for obstructed defecation syndrome associated with
rectocele and rectal intussusception.
A three-year prospective assessment of
rectocele repair using porcine xenograft.
Rectocele and Cystocele###6/24 (25%)###9/36(25%)###1
The number of vaginal deliveries had a significant relationship only with cystocele and
rectocele grade, whereas the number of Caesarean sections did not have any effect on the intensity of incontinence.
(7) It is obvious that prolapse of the rectum, including
rectocele, falls within the scope of the colorectal surgeon.
This is especially helpful if the patient has only anterior and apical defects without the need for
rectocele dissection or is undergoing an anterior mesh augmentation procedure.
Rectocele was the most common physical finding in the entire group (60% of patients), followed by cystocele, enterocele, rectal prolapse, and anal sphincter defects diagnosed by endorectal ultrasound.
For example, patients with severe constipation may have obstructed defecation related to
rectocele or IRP.
During the follow-up period, in group 1, three patients (%5.6) had a stage-1 cystocele and one (1.8%) a stage 1
rectocele; in group 2, four patients (7.5%) had a stage-1 cystocele and four (7.5%) a stage 1
rectocele.
The examination demonstrated normal external genitalia, normal urethra without caruncle, vagina mucosa with mild post-menopausal atrophic changes, grade one cystocele with midline urethral alignment, absence of
rectocele, and no stress incontinence with valsalva.
We have evaluated 50 cases of pelvic floor dysfunction like cystocele, uterine descent,
rectocele.
