In the present work we have studied two consecutive series of patients who underwent a posterior abdominal rectopexy according to Wells or Ripstein. During the year of follow up no recurrences were observed. Functional results, evaluated according to a protocol, by history of the patient and manovolumetry, shoved an improvement of fecal continence in more than half of the incontinents in both series. However, constipation increased after Wells' rectopexy, while no major changes were observed after Ripstein's rectopexy. We conclude that the first surgical technique may offers worse functional results.
