Core Tip
Core Tip: Clinical observations were carried out in 49 female patients with rectocele and internal rectal prolapse who met the inclusion criteria and underwent surgery with the TST36 stapler. The postoperative obstructed defecation syndrome score, defecation frequency score, time/straining intensity, and sensation of incomplete evacuation were significantly lower than those before treatment. The initial and maximum defecation thresholds in patients after surgery were significantly lower than those before treatment. The patients’ postoperative ratings of rectocele, resting phase, and defecation phase were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment.
