摘要
Transanal rectal resection with a stapling instrument (STARR) has been shown to be effective and safe for the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). Nevertheless, the wide range of complications described in the literature necessitates a rigorous patient selection and a tailored approach for the management of complications. We present here a case of pneumoretroperitoneum which occurred after a STARR procedure for ODS was performed nearly a year after previous anterior and posterior colporrhaphy. The diagnostic workup did not reveal a staple-line defect. Laparoscopy did not show any intra-abdominal pathology. The symptoms resolved under oral antibiotics. The patient was discharged on day 10 after admission. Scarring in the rectovaginal septum from a colporrhaphy 1 year earlier might have contributed to a suboptimal staple-line closure during the STARR procedure, leading to a pneumoretroperitoneum. We discuss this complication and provide a brief review of the literature.
