[Cure of rectocele by vaginal way]

Rectocele is a rectal hernia through the posterior vaginal wall. There is three levels of rectocele. High rectocele is caused by the uterosacral and cardinal ligaments stretching; it needs prerecti fascia placation with a sacrofixation of an associated prolapsus of uterus or vaginal vault. The middle rectocele is linked with a rectovaginal fascia defect; the preferential choice for middle rectocele is midline fascial plication; superior myoraphy gives dyspareunia. The inferior rectocele results of a destruction of the perineal body; the treatment is a myoraphy with vulvoraphy. Complete rectocele would be an indication for a posterior mesh.
