A tampon soaked with contrast medium, which had been inserted into the vagina as part of standard defecography procedure, obscured signs of anterior rectocele and rectal intussusception in a 34-year-old woman. A contrast medium gel for marking vaginal position was formulated, and postsurgical examination with use of the gel revealed improved rectal function and no intussusception. The gel provided excellent contrast without obscuring important diagnostic information.

Generic guidelines are applied to reconstructive vaginal operations, so as to convert them to ambulatory procedures. Prototype operations are described and analyzed. These included conceptualizing vaginal prolapse as a type of intussusception caused by vaginal and ligamentous laxity in the middle or posterior parts of the vagina; the avoidance of vaginal excision, excessive tension, and refashioning excess vaginal tissue from width to length or into a partial double-layered repair; the creation of artificial neoligaments; the prevention of urinary retention by avoiding tightness in the bladder neck area; local anesthetic infiltration; and buttressing vaginal tissue during wound healing. A total of 108 patients underwent vaginal surgery on an ambulatory or overnight stay basis, 72 under local anesthesia/midazolam. Minimal postoperative pain and the absence of catheterization reduced hospital stay from a statewide mean of 8 days to 1 day, and return to normal activities from 6 weeks to 7-10 days. Cure rates (18 months) were: uterovaginal prolapse 22/22, infracoccygeal sacropexy 21/23, rectocele 36/38, cystocele/anterior vaginal wall prolapse 21/25. Applied as prototypes to reconstructive vaginal surgery, the operations appear to be as effective as traditional techniques but far less invasive. They have the potential to assist working mothers, the old and infirm, and save the community up to $5,500 per patient. It is hoped that the generic models presented may act as a basis for the future development of ambulatory vaginal surgical techniques.

A 64-year-old woman underwent right nephroureterectomy of the ureter by the intussusception method under the diagnosis of right renal pelvic tumor in December 2001. Stress incontinence appeared postoperatively, and though conservative treatment was performed, it did not improve. The result of the pad-weighting test was 56 g indicating serious incontinence. In chain cystography, contrast media from the posterior wall of the urinary bladder to the vagina leaked out by the lateral view, and in cystoscopy, a fistula of about 2 mm in diameter was recognized in the right ureteral orifice trace. Under the diagnosis of vesicovaginal fistula, we performed transvaginal repair of the vesicovaginal fistula in November 2003. The urethral catheter was removed on the 14th postoperative day. After removal of the urethral catheter, urge incontinence was recognized, but it improved gradually. The recurrence of fistula and tumor has not been recognized at present.

The aim of the study was to analyse the dynamic anatomical supports of the posterior vaginal wall from the perspective of rectocele and rectal intussusception repair. Two groups of patients were studied. Group 1 (n = 24) with genuine stress incontinence but no major vault prolapse had vagino/proctomyograms and transperineal ultrasound examinations. Group 2 with vaginal vault prolapse, clinical rectoceles and obstructive defecation symptoms (n = 19 had single-contrast defecating proctography before and after posterior-sling surgery. The posterior vaginal wall is suspended between perineal body, which underlies half its length, and uterosacral ligaments, which also support the anterior wall of rectum. Muscle forces stretch the vagina and rectum against the perineal body and uterosacral ligaments, creating shape and strength, like a suspension bridge. Postoperative proctogram studies indicated that anterior rectal wall intussusception has the same etiology as rectocele, deficient recto-vaginal ligamentous support. Repair to uterosacral ligaments and perineal body should be considered with large rectoceles, anterior rectal wall intussusception and obstructive defecation disorders.

Prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and pelvic floor weakness are among the most common diseases of the pelvis. Cardinal symptoms include painless macrohematuria in bladder cancer and urinary and fecal incontinence in pelvic floor weakness. Suspicion of prostate cancer currently is most frequently raised when the serum concentration of prostate-specific antigen is pathologically elevated. Besides extensive clinical and invasive diagnosis, clinical imaging is frequently applied for the localization, locoregional staging, and diagnosis of recurrence of prostate cancer and invasive bladder cancer, and in clinically difficult cases of cystocele, enterocele, rectocele, descensus or prolapse of vagina, uterus, and rectum, and rectal intussusception. Magnetic resonance imaging with T2-weighted TSE or FSE images in several planes combined with either axial, T1-weighted images and MR spectroscopy for the prostate, dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images for the urinary bladder, or dynamic T2-weighted functional images for pelvic floor incontinence are particularly well suited as clinical imaging methods.

Dyschesia, also called obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), is a difficulty to exonerate with straining. A rectocele or an intussusception are the main causes. Defecation is facilitated by digital maneuvers into vagina in case of rectocele or on the perineum in intussusception. Clinical examination is conducted at rest and at strain allowing exposing the rectocele. Vaginal valves may allow differentiating an anterior colpocele to a rectocele. An anterior rectal hernia should be accentuated by digital examination of the rectum. Clinical examination in intussusception is poor. An ODS scoring is useful to determine the severity of the symptoms and to appreciate the therapeutic results comparing pre- and post-treatment scores.

Transperineal ultrasound is an inexpensive, safe and painless technique that dynamically and non-invasively evaluates the anorectal area. It has multiple indications, mainly in urology, gynaecology, surgery and gastroenterology, with increased use in the last decade. It is performed with conventional probes, positioned directly above the anus, and may capture images of the anal canal, rectum, puborectalis muscle (posterior compartment), vagina, uterus, (central compartment), urethra and urinary bladder (anterior compartment). Evacuatory disorders and pelvic floor dysfunction, like rectoceles, enteroceles, rectoanal intussusception, pelvic floor dyssynergy can be diagnosed using this technique. It makes a dynamic evaluation of the interaction between pelvic viscera and pelvic floor musculature, with images obtained at rest, straining and sustained squeezing. This technique is an accurate examination for detecting, classifying and following of perianal inflammatory disease. It can also be used to sonographically guide drainage of deep pelvic abscesses, mainly in patients who cannot undergo conventional drainage. Transperineal ultrasound correctly evaluates sphincters in patients with fecal incontinence, postpartum and also following surgical repair of obstetric tears. There are also some studies referring to its role in anal stenosis, for the measurement of the anal cushions in haemorrhoids and in chronic anal pain.
