The posterior reconstruction was done using a standard technique in the control group and was modified for the experimental group by incorporating not only the “Rocco” stitch between Denonvilliers’ fascia and the rhabdosphincter but also the iliopectineal ligaments bilaterally to further improve posterior support with this suspensory ‘hammock’.
