Abstract
An anterior rectocele with a size of 20 mm or more corresponds with a qualitative score of "severe" on radiographic defecography. Physical examination for anterior rectocele in the left decubitis position corresponds best with quantitative radiographic assessment and anterior rectocele with a size > or = 20 mm on defecography is pathologic. Patients with complaints compatible with anterior rectocele can be assessed in objective and quantitative terms by radiography and can be successfully surgically treated, even if at physical examination the anterior rectocele is not classified as large, provided that dynamic defecography shows an anterior rectocele of > or = 20 mm. The potential of dynamic MRI with regard to anterior rectoceles presently seems absent.
