Official Title: Obstructed Defecation Caused by Rectal Intussusception and Rectocele:STARR Versus Laparoscopic Ventral Rectopexy
Brief Summary: Obstructed Defecation is a profoundly disabling condition. Many different surgical procedures has been introduced to treat patients affected by this disease. The most used are STARR and ventral rectopexy. Because of the heterogenity of studies and overall the lack of comparison trials, there is no accepted standard surgical treatment.PRO-REST aimed to compare these two procedures (STARR and Ventral Rectopexy) evaluating functional and anatomical results.
