[Posterior free tape for the reduction of enterocele].

OBJECTIVE

Evaluation of the effect of posterior free tape for the reduction of enterocele and rectocele.

SUBJECTIVE: Case Study.

SETTING

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bata Hospital, Zlin.

METHODS AND

RESULTS

A very effective solution for the reduction of large enterocele and rectocele is the utilization of posterior free tape. At our workstation we use posterior TVTo, thus the "inside out" method when, after preparation of the ischiorectal space, the tape is stitched into the apex of the enterocele, and by tension balances, the posterior compartment. From November 2003 to January 2005 we carried out 20 operations. The anatomic effect in all on women operated was very good. In two cases we encountered haemorrhage with haematoma at the apex of the enterocele with the resulting protrusion of the tape. We resolved both cases by elimination of the slit tape.
