Disease relevance of Rectocele

• At a mean follow-up of 6.3 months (range 1-17 months), 2 patients (12%) had mild, asymptomatic vaginal vault descensus but no patients (0/17) had evidence of a recurrent enterocele or rectocele [1].

High impact information on Rectocele

• OBJECTIVE: To estimate the efficacy of midline fascial plication of the posterior vaginal wall in women with rectoceles and obstructed defecation [2].
• Midline rectovaginal fascial plication for repair of rectocele and obstructed defecation [2].
• OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of polyglactin 910 mesh in preventing recurrent cystoceles and rectoceles [3].
• PURPOSE: Large rectoceles have been associated with symptoms of impaired rectal evacuation, often leading to rectocele repair [4].
• BACKGROUND: We assessed the value of magnetic resonance (MR) rectography in diagnosing rectocele by using a combination of oral gadopentetate dimeglumine and polyethylene glycol solutions [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Rectocele

• There was a statistically significant difference between MR imaging diagnosis of rectocele in patients in the straining position without and with contrast ( p < 0.05), and the difference was more prominent in patients using polyethylene glycol solution ( p < 0.001) [5].
• CONCLUSION: Barium trapping in rectoceles changes with the degree of rectal evacuation [6].
• MR rectography evaluation of rectoceles with oral gadopentetate dimeglumine and polyethylene glycol solution [5].
• One case of recurrent rectocele was observed (after 20 months) and treated by transvaginal Richter sacrospinous fixation [7].

Gene context of Rectocele

• We investigated the hypothesis that a weak BCM and PRM share in the genesis of rectocele by changing the rectovaginal pressure gradient [8].
