Traitement de la rectocèle par résection rectale transanale à la pince mécanique : résultats à moyen terme d'une étude multicentrique en France

This multicenter study, reporting the results of the largest published series, suggests that the STARR technique is feasible and safe in the medium term for the treatment of rectocele. Occurrence of adverse events such as incontinence to flatus should be better evaluated by future studies with longer follow up in order to assess the actual place of STARR in the treatment of rectocele or outlet obstruction.
