Abstract | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders involving various organ systems. We report the case of a female patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III (EDS III) presenting with a recurrent rectocele in whom porcine small intestinal submucosa mesh was used successfully to correct the defect in the rectovaginal fascia. |
