Abstract:
The goal of reconstructive vaginal surgery include: restoration of normal anatomy, as well as maintaining visceral and sexual function. Rectocele repair can be performed utilizing a number of techniques, however some of these techniques severely distort the posterior vaginal wall anatomy and subsequently may result in dyspareunia. We report two patients with postoperative dyspareunia following levatorplasty technique for the treatment of rectocele. The patients elected to have their levatorplasty released and their rectovaginal septum reconstructed utilizing allogenic dermal graft. Postoperatively both patients are sexually active without evidence of dyspareunia or rectocele.
