    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED VIA JOURNAL ARTICLE: "TITLE: SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF LAPAROSCOPIC VENTRAL MESH RECTOPEXY AND SACROCOLPOPEXY FOR RECTAL PROLAPSE AND OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION: ANALYSIS OF FIRST 20 CASES AT A UK DISTRICT GENERAL HOSPITAL" AUTHOR(S): TENNAKOON A., FAROOK G. CITATION: GUT. 2015 JUN; CONFERENCE: 2ND DIGESTIVE DISORDERS FEDERATION CONFERENCE, DDF 2015. LONDON UNITED KINGDOM. CONFERENCE PUBLICATION: (VAR.PAGINGS). 64 (SUPPL. 1):A378. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO PRESENT THAT LAPAROSCOPIC VENTRAL MESH RECTOPEXY (LVMR) CAN BE LEARNT AND SAFELY PERFORMED WITH SHORT TERM RESULTS SIMILAR TO THAT OF ESTABLISH CENTRES. FROM JANUARY 2011 TO JANUARY 2015, 20 PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION (ODS) AND RECTAL PROLAPSE UNDERWENT LVMR. IN THE PROCEDURE, ETHIBOND EXCEL 2/0 SUTURE WAS USED TO ATTACH THE MESH TO THE RECTUM AND VICRYL 2/0 WAS USED FOR COLPOPEXY. COLPOPEXY WAS PERFORMED IN 90% OF THE PATIENTS WITH ZERO 30-DAY MORTALITY. COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED WOUND INFECTION (N=1), RECURRENCE OF ODS AFTER ONE YEARS (N=1), AND RECURRENT PROLAPSE WITH ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR VAGINAL PROLAPSE AFTER 6 MONTHS (N=1). THE AUTHORS SUGGEST THAT EXPERIENCED LAPAROSCOPIC SURGEONS CAN LEARN AND SAFELY PERFORM LAPAROSCOPIC VENTRAL MESH RECTOPEXY.
