Core Tip
Core tip: Rectocele is one of most common causes of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) in females. A diversity of procedures has been performed to treat rectocele. Stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) is more often used among all the procedures for its simpleness. However, it is not the gold-standard procedure since its effect of anterior wall repair is doubted. We performed a novel procedure combining Khubchandani’s procedure and stapled posterior wall resection to treat rectocele. We compared the ODS score, rectocele depth, and complications between our procedure and STARR. Our procedure was proved to be safe and effective for treating rectocele.
