- Abstract
The article discusses a surgical technique called robotic ventral mesh rectopexy with anterior rectoplasty, which is used to treat obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) caused by rectal prolapse, rectal intussusception, and rectocele. The authors propose a modification to the procedure that involves a longitudinal plication of the anterior wall of the rectum before fixing the mesh. They believe that this additional step can help correct the laxity of the anterior rectal wall and improve functional outcomes for patients. The article includes a video demonstration of the procedure and concludes that the modified technique may increase patient satisfaction.
