  • Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection Versus Transvaginal Procedure for Treatment of Rectocele

    Objective Both stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) and vaginal bridge repair are new operative techniques for treatment of rectocele transanal and transvaginal, respectively. In this study we observe the clinical outcomes for STARR as compared with vaginal bridge repair procedure. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with obstructive defecation syndrome from January 2007 to May 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to different operative approach: STARR group (n=18) and bridge repair suture group (n=13). The clinical outcomes observed were operative time, blood loss, length of stay, cost of hospitalization, complication and the improvement of obstructed defecation syndrome. Results There was no difference in the age and severity in the patients of two groups. Evaluation of the clinical outcomes showed 16 (88.9%) patients in the STARR group and 6 (46.2%) in the bridge repair suture group reported improvement in symptoms (P=0.017). STARR had a shorter operative time (24.6 min vs. 33.2 min, Plt;0.01), less estimated blood loss (3.9 ml vs. 16.2 ml, Plt;0.01), more costly (10 743 yuan vs. 3 543 yuan, Plt;0.01) and a higher anal incontinenc rate but reversible. The length of stay was similar (average 6 d). Conclusion The stapled transanal rectal resection procedure is more superior to the vaginal bridge repair suture for improvement of obstructed defecation syndrome from rectocele, however, it has a higher cost and some patient with reversible slight anal incontinence after surgery.
