title: The management of pulsion enterocoele with the Zacharin abdominoperineal technique (and mesh sacrocolpopexy).
abstract: Our aim was to evaluate the technique, results and complications in 126 women with pulsion enterocoele treated with the combined abdominoperineal repair. Mean follow-up was 25 months with a range of 0-83 months. Operative morbidity included bladder trauma (0.7%), bowel injury (3.1%), wound breakdown (0.7%), infection (10%), pulmonary embolus (0.7%) and blood transfusion (40%). Longterm complications included prolonged urinary retention (11%), incisional hernia (4.7%) and constipation (40.4%). 92.4% of women were cured.
