Summary

Different studies showed large variation between care processes in multiple diseases, this leads to large variation in outcomes. Better adherence to evidence-based guidelines for these diseases can reduce this variation and can improve the health outcomes. Ventral mesh rectopexy has gained popularity in Europe to treat different rectal prolapse syndromes. This procedure has been shown to achieve acceptable anatomic results with low recurrence rates, few complications, and improvements of both constipation and fecal incontinence. However, there is limited data on the care process and outcomes. Moreover, there is no insight in the variation between different centers for patients undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy. This study aims to map the variation in care for patients undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy in Flemish hospitals and to get an overview about the variation within and between these hospitals. Hereby, this will be a repeat of the studies for colorectal cancer, fragility hip fractures, stroke and breast cancer surgery.
