Ventral Rectopexy

 Laparoscopic rectopexy is one of the surgeries used to repair a prolapse in the rectum. In this operation, the rectum in the pelvis is restored to its normal position, so that it no longer protrudes through the anus. The rectum is usually secured with stitches, often along with mesh. The term "laparoscopic" refers to surgery performed in the abdomen by means of several very small incisions. In order to see the interior of the abdomen a laparoscope (a large, thin camera) is positioned through an incision by the belly button. The remaining small incisions are used to place instruments for the surgery. Post-pelvic floor disorders are popular. Due to the variety of signs and the extent of their interaction, their treatment is complicated. Owing to the importance of laparoscopy, ventral rectopexy has experienced major improvement over the last decades. This procedure, initially used in rectal prolapse therapy, is now applied for the diagnosis of rectocele. The purpose of this study was to report the ventral rectopexy experience for rectocele treatment only with or without intussusuception, and to evaluate anatomical correction and functional outcome. D'Hoore was picked. This D'Hoore and Penninckx described technique allows minimal rectum mobilization. The rectovaginal septum is exposed without the lateral and posterior rectal surfaces being dissected. One prosthesis is placed at the rectum's ventral position and is anchored without traction by one or two points to the promontory.
