ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the long-term results of a surgical procedure called the Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection (STARR) for treating a condition known as rectocele, which affects many women and can impact their quality of life. The goal of the trial is to gather more information about how well this surgery works over a longer period of time, as most previous studies only looked at short-term results. The investigators want to see if the STARR technique is effective and if it aligns with recommendations from health experts.

To participate in this trial, women aged 18 and older who have undergone surgery for rectocele at least 10 years ago may be eligible. Participants will be informed about the study and will need to agree to take part. Those who choose to join can expect to share their experiences and outcomes from the surgery, which will help improve understanding of the procedure's effectiveness. Importantly, the trial is currently recruiting participants, and those interested should speak with their healthcare provider for more information.
