Summary

The ideal surgical strategy for treating complex rectocele remains a topic for debate, with the transanal, transperineal, and transvaginal approach and the abdominal approach being at conflict with one another. While the transvaginal repair is more popular among gynecologists, the trans abdominal approach has become increasingly common among colorectal surgeons, in part due to the rising demand for minimally invasive surgery.

Detailed description

For the treatment of rectoceles and ODS in general, the laparoscopic method has recently come to light as a promising alternative. Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) was originally described for the management of rectal prolapse. However, It was also recommended with encouraging results for the treatment of large symptomatic rectocele. The present study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LVMR for complex rectocele.
