title: [Survey among gynaecologists and surgeons on rectocele].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Provide insight into how gynaecologists and surgeons name, diagnose and treat a rectocele and identify the differences between these two professional groups.
  
  
  METHODS
  Questionnaire survey.
  
  
  METHODS
  We sent an online survey with 16 multiple-choice questions to gynaecologists and surgeons from two national working groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There is no discernible consensus on nomenclature, diagnostics and treatment. Gynaecologists and surgeons each choose their own approach.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is in the patient's interest to draw up a joint guideline; however, multidisciplinary cooperation is only possible if gynaecologists and surgeons speak the same language.
