[Analysis of causes of unsatisfactory results of rectocele surgical treatment and ways of their correction].

Causes of recurrences and unsatisfactory results of rectocele surgical treatment (except wound suppuration after surgery) were analyzed. It was concluded that prolapse of rectal mucosa and (or) severe muscular atrophy of the pelvic fundus uncorrected during transvaginal correction of rectocele are the main causes. It is recommended to resect mucosal excess by a traditional or A. Longo's method in the former case and to use synthetic net in the latter. This brings about favorable results in these patients.
