ABSTRACT

Standard operations for treatment of recto-enterocoele are based on incorrect anatomical assumptions from the past. The anatomy of prolapse and the principles of hernia repair are reviewed. A new concept of the dynamic bridging graft is proposed.

Keywords:
Recto-enterocoele; Hernia principles; Site specific defects; Mesh repair; Dynamic bridging grafts.
