The goal of this multicenter observational study is to collect data prospectively of patients with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing ventral mesh rectopexy (as well as rectoceles, entero-/sigmoidoceles/ intussusception/ rectal prolapse or combined) by laparoscopy or robotic surgery and to evaluate the longterm functional outcomes.
Secondly complications (mesh erosions, recurrence, reoperations) are evaluated.
Following main questions will be analysed - other can follow in consultation with the collaborative
1. Is VMR the technique of choice for treatment of rectoceles? Functional results - recurrence - mesh related complications 2. Has a perineal descent an impact on the functional outcome of ventral mesh rectopexy perfored for external rectal prolaps, internal rectal prolaps, rectocele, enterocele, sigmoidcele or combined pelvic organ prolapse?
Diagnosis of posterior pelvic organ prolaps planned for laparoscopie or robotic ventral mesh rectopexy with or without concomittant surgery.
All patients 18 years or older and are able to complete a written informed conscent are eligble for inclusion.

Functional outcome
Evaluation of the long-term functional outcomes of ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) for posterior organ prolapse. Is VMR the surgical technique of choice for treatment of rectoceles?
Has perineal descent has an impact on the functional outcome of ventral mesh rectopexy performed for external rectal prolaps, internal rectal prolaps, rectocele, enterocele, sigmoidocele or combined pelvic organ prolapse?
recurrence of posterior pelvic organ prolapse - new onset of symptoms
mesh related complications
