Does the need to self‐digitate or the presence of a large or nonemptying rectocoele on proctography influence the outcome of transanal rectocoele repair?

Abstract: No factors were seen to distinguish between the successful and unsuccessful groups of patients following rectocoele repair, however, an overall success rate of 75% was achieved using our selection criteria. This figure is in keeping with reported success rates in the literature.

“…Nonsurgical treatment includes pessaries, dietary modification, bulk-forming agents, and biofeedback therapy [22, 23]. If failed, surgery is indicated when the rectocele has a diameter >3 cm with symptoms of difficult or prolonged evacuation, sensation of incomplete emptying, retention of a specific amount of paste/isotope on defecography, or evacuation with digital assistance [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. …”

“…Conversely, transanal repair is typically performed by colorectal surgeons, including a variety of new techniques [1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 25, 26]. This approach makes it possible to perform other procedures concurrently for the correction of simultaneous pelvic floor abnormalities including rectal prolapse/intussusception, fissure, and hemorrhoids [9].…”

“…Standardized prospective data evaluation within the registry was processed either by PC internet documentation ("online eCRF") or by standardized printout protocols. Statistical evaluation and data control (including safety report confirmation) were performed by an independent research toren, die den Erfolg einer operativen Therapie von "symptomatischen" ventralen Rektozelen vorhersagen [4]. Des Weiteren uneinheitlich bewertet wird die Frage, inwieweit eine ventrale Rektozele kombiniert mit einem inneren Rektumprolaps die Entleerungsstörung verursacht.…”

“…Bei gleichzeitiger Sphinkterinsuffizienz sollte transperinealen und transvaginalen Verfahren der Vorzug gegeben werden, während transanale Verfahren immer dann vorteilhaft sind, wenn zusätzlich zu einer Rektozele ein innerer Rektumprolaps vorliegt. Jedoch sind derzeit keine objektiven Einflussfaktoren bekannt, die den Erfolg einer operativen Therapie bei symptomatischen ventralen Rektozelen vorhersagen [10,11]. Weiterhin bleibt die Frage unbeantwortet, ob die Rektozele wirklich ursächlich für eine Defäkationsstörung ist oder ob nicht die Stuhlqualität in der Genese von Symptomen bei Entleerungsstörungen von grö-ßerer Relevanz ist und somit die Rektozele nur ein Epiphäno-men ohne Krankheitswert darstellt [27].…”
