About this study

Official title: Single-center Retrospective Study of the Long-term Results of the Stapled TransAnal Rectal Resection (STARR) Operation Proposed in the Treatment of a Rectocele in Consecutive Patients

Rectal static disorders, including the rectocele, represent a frequent functional pathology which affects the quality of life of affected patients. Among vaginal treatments, the STARR technique corresponds to rectal resection by transanal approach using a stapler. The American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) has concluded that service to patients is insufficient. The technical and functional results published are mostly short-term studies. The investigators seek to assess the technical and functional results of Operation STARR, based on a series of consecutive expert center cases, to confirm or refute the conclusions of the AGA recommendations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • STARR surgeryProcedure or surgery

    This intervention is carried out under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. It consists of the circular resection of the "surplus" of rectal mucosa. Rectal resection and suturing is performed using automatic mechanical forceps introduced through the anus.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Long term results of the STARR operation.

    Dyschezia postoperatively

    Measured: 10 years
