Predictive factors for functional failure of ventral mesh rectopexy in the treatment of rectal prolapse and obstructed defecation

Abstract: Background Ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is widely accepted for the treatment of rectal prolapse or obstructed defecation. However, despite good anatomical results, the improvement of functional symptoms (constipation or incontinence) cannot always be obtained and in some cases these symptoms may even worsen. The aim of the present study was to identify possible predictors of functional failure after VMR. Methods Data of all consecutive patients who had VMR… Show more

“…In our study, recurrence is higher in PSR than LVMR, probably as a result of many factors: dolichocolon was higher in the PSR than in the LVMR group. The PSR does not require fixation of the long colon and has a higher recurrence rate [ 18 ]. The duration of symptoms before surgery and prolapse length were other factors that caused a higher recurrence of PSR.…”
