A survey of gynaecologists and surgeons reveals no consensus on the nomenclature, diagnosis, or treatment of rectocele, highlighting the need for joint guidelines to improve multidisciplinary cooperation.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Provide insight into how gynaecologists and surgeons name, diagnose and treat a rectocele and identify the differences between these two professional groups. DESIGN: Questionnaire survey. METHODS: We sent an online survey with 16 multiple-choice questions to gynaecologists and surgeons from two national working groups. RESULTS: There is no discernible consensus on nomenclature, diagnostics and treatment. Gynaecologists and surgeons each choose their own approach. CONCLUSION: It is in the patient's interest to draw up a joint guideline; however, multidisciplinary cooperation is only possible if gynaecologists and surgeons speak the same language.
