Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Gynecology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Context:

  • Rectocele is typically viewed as a gynecological condition.
  • It can manifest with distinct rectal symptoms.
  • Rectal static disorders may involve isolated rectocele.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence and clinical presentation of isolated rectocele.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of endo-anal surgical treatment for rectocele presenting with rectal signs.

Summary:

  • A study identified 49 cases of isolated rectocele in 202 patients with rectal static disorders.
  • These patients were women with a mean age of 48, often experiencing constipation requiring digital assistance.
  • Medical constipation treatment was ineffective; 39 patients underwent successful endo-anal surgery (95% success rate).

Impact:

  • Highlights the significance of rectal signs in diagnosing rectocele.
  • Demonstrates the high success rate of endo-anal surgery for rectocele.
  • Recommends surgical intervention for rectocele presenting with rectal symptoms.
