Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Rectocele formation is a complex anatomical and functional abnormality. Traditional diagnostic techniques may be augmented by quantitative physical examination and fluoroscopic assessment during defecation. Few studies of surgical outcomes have been published, but these studies suggest that anatomic correction of the rectocele does not reliably correct

Rectocele: pathogenesis and surgical management
International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2003Rectocele is a common finding in patients with intractable evacuatory disorders. Although much rectocele surgery is conducted by gynecologists en passant with other forms of vaginal surgery, many reports lack appreciation of the importance of coincident anorectal symptoms, and do not report functional and clinical outcome data.

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1990
A retrospective review of 64 rectocele repairs done over a four-year period was performed. The most common indication for repair was constipation. Thirty-five patients were repaired transanally, and 29 were repaired transvaginally. The overall morbidity was 34 percent, and the overall mortality was 0 percent.

Endorectal repair of rectocele
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1983A modification of Sullivan's procedure for endorectal repair of "low" rectocele was completed in 59 patients with local anesthesia. Associated anorectal pathology was corrected in all patients. The technique is described. At follow-up, the results were as follows: 37 excellent (62.7 per cent), 10 good (16.9 per cent), eight fair (13.6 per cent), and ...

Rectocele—does the size matter?
International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2012Large rectoceles (>2 cm) are believed to be associated with difficulty in evacuation, constipation, rectal pain, and rectal bleeding. The aim of our study was to determine whether rectocele size is related to patient's symptoms or defecatory parameters.We conducted a retrospective study on data collected on patients referred to our clinic for the ...

Symptomatic rectocele is known to contribute to the formation of piles in female patients. This paper describes a subset of women pile sufferers who have occult rectoceles which are asymptomatic, and which are not obvious on routine visual examination, even with the use of the speculum. These patients are mulatiparous and have sustained perinea! damage

Rectocele repair: When and how?
Current Urology Reports, 2002Pelvic organ prolapse repair poses a unique challenge to the reconstructive pelvic surgeon. Traditional levator plication has been promoted for the past century and has recently been shown to create unsatisfactory functional results, among them dyspareunia. In an attempt to improve both functional and quality-of-life outcomes, new methods for posterior

Dermal graft-augmented rectocele repair
International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 2003We describe a new technique in the surgical treatment of rectocele using a dermal allograft to augment site-specific fascial defect repair of the rectovaginal fascia. The posterior vaginal wall is opened and discrete defects in the rectovaginal fascia are repaired in a site-specific fashion using delayed absorbable suture.
