Ventral mesh rectopexy: Variations in technique and care process. A multicentre study
This study shows a significant variation in the perioperative management and surgical technique for VMR between hospitals, ongoing controversies and a lack of standardization. This collaborative can serve as a structured feedback tool to define minimum QIs and minimum outcome reporting parameters. Consensus building and adherence to evidence-based guidelines should reduce variation in care processes and lead to improved patient outcomes.
