Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding a graft during a rectocele repair will improve the success rate of the repair.
Detailed Description:
Rectoceles may have a significant effect on the quality of life of women. Symptoms associated with rectoceles include a protruding vaginal mass, persistent pelvic pressure, and sexual dysfunction. Surgical repair is the most common treatment with success rates ranging from 65%-85% at 1-2 years. In an attempt to improve surgical outcomes, clinicians are using graft materials to augment weakened tissues in rectocele repairs: however, there is little data to support or refute these practices. The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of graft augmentation on objective and subjective outcomes.
Comparison: Rectocele repair without graft, compared to rectocele repair with the SurgiSIS (TM) graft.
