How could management of rectoceles be optimized?

Abstract:

:A posterior vaginal wall prolapse, also known as a rectocele, is a common condition and is an outpouching of the posterior vaginal wall and anterior rectal wall into the lumen of the vagina.1-5 Although more common in parous women, rectoceles of over 1 cm in size have been demonstrated in over 40% of nulliparous women. As rectoceles may be asymptomatic, their true prevalence is not clear. Many women with rectoceles present to their gynaecologist who may not ascertain any anorectal symptoms or perform a rectal examination. Conversely, colorectal surgeons often disregard a vaginal examination.6 Conventionally, gynaecologists have managed rectoceles, but increasingly colorectal surgeons are involved because of the prevalence of anorectal symptoms. There are many surgical techniques for the management of a symptomatic rectocele. There is, however, little data to suggest which is the most effective technique, or whether specific techniques are more appropriate in certain circumstances.7
