[Rectocele: clinical manifestations and surgical correction].
The authors made an analysis of clinical manifestation of rectocele, methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of 17 patients with rectocele in the Ukrainian center of proctology for the period from 1988 to 1998. The diagnosis of rectocele of the II degree was made by the methods of clinical and instrumental investigations in 37 patients and of the III degree in 80 patients. Two variants of surgical correction were used: sphincterolevator plasty and sphincterolevator plasty with colporrhaphy. The results of treatment were assessed in 5 years using questionnaires. Relapses were noted in 3 patients (2.8%).
