Compare the changes of preoperative and postoperative posterior colporrhaphy.

Introduction:

Objectives:

To evaluate the correlation between the presence of bowel symptoms and s rectocele severity and elucidate the impact of posterior colporrhaphy on bowel functions.

Methods:

Medical records of all consecutive women who received concomitant posterior colporrhaphy for their pelvic organ prolapse repairs were reviewed. In general, all women were requested to answer bowel incontinence assessment questionnaires before and after surgery.

Possible results:

Differences in rectocele severities between the presence or absence of fecal incontinence, flatus incontinence, constipation, diarrhea or sensation of residual stool will be shown.

Inclusion Criteria:

• women with pelvic organ prolapse planned to receive concomitant posterior colporrhaphy
