SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RECTOCELE WITH PELVIC ORGANS PROLAPSE
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Results of treatment of 64 patients at mean age of 44,6 years suffering from rectocele. Depending on surgery two consecutive series were included into study. Main group (n = 33) was operated using modified sphincterolevatoroplasty; control group (n = 31) was operated using sphincterolevatoroplasty with double layer stitches. Results: Suggested method reduced length of postoperative stay and number of complications comparing to control group: 5,4 ± 0,4 vs 7,5 ± 0,5 (p < 0,05) and 6,1 % vs. 16,1 % (χ <sup>2</sup> = 1,66; p > 0,05). In long-term period it increases the number of good results 90,9 % vs. 67,7% (χ <sup>2</sup> = 6,13; p < 0,05) CONCLUSION Modified sphincterolevatoroplasty is an effective method of surgical correction of rectocele.
