title: [Diagnosis and therapeutic possibilities of descending perineum syndrome].
abstract: The Descending-Perineum-Syndrome (DPS) is a quite common disease in the coloproctological outpatient clinic. In some cases it is difficult to get the correct diagnosis. The treatment success is depending on the condition of the muscle of the floor of the pelvis and on the condition of the sphincter internus- and externus muscle and on the various operation methods. One of these operation-methods is the rectopexy with suspension of the anterior wall of the rectum and in some cases in combination with a colon-resection. After this kind of operation 75% of these patients had no pain and less defecation problems.
