The ideal surgical strategy for treating complex rectocele remains a topic for debate, with the transanal, transperineal, and transvaginal approach and the abdominal approach being at conflict with one another. While the transvaginal repair is more popular among gynecologists, the trans abdominal approach has become increasingly common among colorectal surgeons, in part due to the rising demand for minimally invasive surgery.
For the treatment of rectoceles and ODS in general, the laparoscopic method has recently come to light as a promising alternative.
Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) was originally described for the management of rectal prolapse. However, It was also recommended with encouraging results for the treatment of large symptomatic rectocele.
The present study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LVMR for complex rectocele.

Ran from Mar 2021 to primary completion in Feb 2022, 11 months.
Of 16 interventional studies with no phase under Rectocele, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 38. This study's 11 months is below that.
