Anal incontinence after transanal versus transvaginal repair of rectocele: matched pair cohort analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gynaecologists traditionally define a rectocele as a prolapse of the rectum into the vagina with descent towards the introitus and have repaired this via a transvaginal route. Although the first posterior colporrhaphy was ascribed to Simon of Heidelberg in 1867 1, initial studies of bowel function after a rectocele repair were published only in the early 1990s 2, 3, 4. These reports concur that constipation improves after vaginal surgery, but provide no data about anal incontinence.
