Ventral mesh rectopexy was first described by D’Hoore 2004 involves pure anterior mobilization to reduce risk autonomic nerve injury postoperative constipation....

We read with interest the article by Albayati et al published recently.1 There is a sparsity of long term data in use of biological mesh in laparoscopy rectopexy for the treatment of rectal prolapse. We appreciate the efforts made by Albayati et al in this study and note the homogeneous population in terms of gender, age and BMI. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Forty-two patients with complete rectal prolapse have been treated using the Ivalon sponge rectopexy. There was no operative mortality in this series and only one complete recurrence after an average follow-up of more than 4 years. Pelvic sepsis occurred in one patient and required removal of the sponge. The majority of the patients were satisfied with the results of surgery, despite some remai...

Objective To determine whether ventral mesh rectopexy at the time of sacrocolpopexy reduces rate future posterior wall prolapse. Material and Methods This was a retrospective cohort study women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent or without concomitant single community hospital from December 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019.
