ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a surgical technique called the modified d'Hoore technique for treating conditions like rectal prolapse, rectocele, and enterocele in women. The goal is to see how well this method works by looking at any complications during and after surgery, as well as how effective it is in reducing pain and improving quality of life for patients. The trial is currently recruiting female participants aged 18 and older who have these specific conditions for the first time.

If you join the study, you'll undergo the surgery and be monitored for any side effects or need for further operations. Researchers will also check how your pain levels and everyday activities change from before the surgery to after. It's important to know that this study is only for women who are experiencing these conditions for the first time and who can give informed consent and attend follow-up visits. If you have had these conditions before or cannot follow the study requirements, you may not be eligible to participate.
