title: Prolapsed uterus with huge rectocele and omentocele following cervical amputation: a rare and unusual case presentation.
abstract: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition whose incidence is increasing. Many cases of prolapse of the posterior vaginal wall occur along with other pelvic support defects. Pelvic surgeons who treat rectocele must have an excellent understanding of the normal anatomy, interactions of the connective tissue and muscular supports of the pelvis, and the relationship between anatomy and function. Pelvic pressure, the need to splint the perineum to defecate, impaired sexual relations, difficult defecation, and faecal incontinence are some of the symptoms that have been described in patients with rectocele.
