Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

We assumed that the technique of plication of the rectovaginal septum and rectal wall may factor in providing better and more sustained repair that confers more satisfactory improvement in symptoms. The present randomized study aimed to evaluate the outcome of TPR with vertical plication of the rectovaginal septum as compared to the horizontal plication with regards to improvement in ODS, recurrence of rectocele, postoperative complications and dyspareunia.
