[Pelvic floor reconstruction with a Prolene net in enterocele].

Nine women, all of whom were multiparae with large symptom-producing enteroceles and all of whom had been submitted to operation by other methods without permanent effect, were submitted to total pelvic floor reconstruction with non-absorbable mesh. No complications of this intervention were observed and the discomfort due to enterocele disappeared in all of the patients during the follow-up period which averaged 11 months (range 1-24 months). The method is recommended in the treatment of large enteroceles where other forms of surgical treatment have failed.
