چکیده

PURPOSE Laparoscopic procedures for the treatment of patients with a rectal prolapse have gained increasing worldwide acceptance because they have lower recurrence and better functional outcome than perineal procedures. Nevertheless, ideal surgical methods are still not available. We propose a new surgical technique, laparoscopic vaginal suspension and rectopexy, for correcting a full-thickness rectal prolapse and/or middle-compartment prolapse. This study assessed the short-term outcomes for patients who underwent laparoscopic vaginal suspension and rectopexy. METHODS Between April 2014 and April 2016, 69 female patients underwent laparoscopic vaginal suspension and rectopexy to correct a rectal prolapse. Demographics, medical histories, and surgical and follow-up details were collected from their medical records. In addition to the clinical outcome, we repeated defecation proctography and a questionnaire regarding functional results three months after surgery. RESULTS No major morbidities or no mortalities occurred. The defecation proctography confirmed excellent anatomical result in all cases. Of 7 patients with combined middle-compartment prolapses, we observed good anatomical correction. During follow-up, full-thickness recurrence occurred in one patient. Preoperative fecal incontinence was improved significantly at 3 months (mean Wexner score: 12.35 vs. 7.71; mean FISI: 33.29 vs. 21.07; P < 0.001). Analysis of responses to the fecal incontinence quality of life (FIQOL) questionnaire showed overall improvement at 3 months compared to the preoperative baseline (mean pre- and postoperative FIQOL scores: 12.11 vs. 14.39; P < 0.004). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic vaginal suspension and rectopexy is a new combined procedure for the treatment of patients with rectal prolapses. It has excellent functional outcomes and minimal morbidity and can correct and prevent middlecompartment prolapses.

INTRODUCTION Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a condition in which an ulcer occurs in the rectum. There is evidence that solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is associated with rectal prolapse either overt or occult and that stopping complete rectal prolapse may lead to rapid healing of the solitary rectal ulcer. A huge variety of operative techniques have been described in the literature to correct...
