Transanal excision of the rectal mucosa vs transanal stapler resection (STARR procedure) for the correction of obstructed defecation in rectocele combined with the rectal mucosa prolapse
In 40 % of patients, rectocele occurs in combination with prolapse of the rectal mucosa. This combined pathology is clinically manifested by obstructive defecation syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transanal excision of the rectal mucosa with transanal stapler resection (STARR) in patients with this pathology. The patients hospitalized in the coloproctology department of the Belgorod Regional Clinical Hospital of St. Joasaph in 2019–2020 were divided into two groups of 30 people each by randomization. Group 1 consisted of 30 patients who underwent transanal resection of the rectal mucosa and anterior levatoroplasty. Group 2 consisted of 30 patients who underwent STARR surgery. The patients were examined a week, six and twelve months after the operation. The duration of the intervention, the severity of postoperative pain syndrome, hospital stay, postoperative complications, and the duration of the recovery period were evaluated. With the help of questionnaires, the continence, emptying function of intestinal contents was evaluated in comparison with the results of X-ray examination, quality of life. The authors noted no significant differences in the frequency of complications, long-term anatomical and functional results. However, the STARR technique is technically simpler, requires less time and terms of hospitalization, which compensates for its high cost.
