Functional and Sexual Outcomes After Laparoscopic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy for Complex Rectocele

Egypt15 participantsStarted 2021-03-01

Plain-language 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.
