Intervention(s)
Group 1: Patients who are diagnosed with obstructed defaecation and rectocele/rectal prolapse following the routine preoperative therapeutic and diagnostic protocol and who are indicated for the STARR-procedure. For this study STARR resection specimens are to be pathologically examined for macro- and micromorphological changes which are then correlated to clinical findings. This is done by a study adapted recording of the clinical data and by a detailed histopathological examination of the specimens according to functional and neuropthological criteria.
Primary Outcome(s)
- rate and extent of histopathologically ascertainable structural impairement and defects in STARR-specimens
Secondary Outcome(s)
- correlation of documented structural damage with clinical findings, patient age, and sex
