Perineal procedures have higher recurrence and lower mortality rates than abdominal alternatives for the treatment of rectal prolapse. Presence of incarceration and strangulation also influences treatment choice. Perineal rectosigmoidectomy is one of the treatment options in patients with incarceration and strangulation, with low mortality and acceptable recurrence rates. This operation can be ...

CONTEXT Since anorectocele is usually associated with mucosa prolapse and/or rectal intussusceptions, it was developed a stapled surgical technique using one circular stapler. OBJECTIVE To report the results of Transanal Repair of Rectocele and Rectal Mucosectomy with one Circular Stapler (TRREMS procedure) in the treatment of anorectocele with mucosa prolapse in a prospective multicenter tri...

Between 1981 and 1988 inclusive, 22 patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse presenting to two surgeons in this hospital were treated using the Délorme operation. There was no mortality and morbidity was minimal. Twenty-one patients (95.5%) were cured of prolapse and 19 patients (86.4%) had normal anal sphincter function after the operation.

Introduction: many surgical techniques –both through the perineal and abdominal routes– have been described for the treatment of rectal prolapse. The aim of this work is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome with Delorme’s perineal procedure. Patients and methods: twenty-one patients with complete rectal prolapse were studied from July 2000 to October 2005. Age, gender, anesthetic ris...

OBJECTIVE This multicenter study aims to assess long-term functional outcome, early and late (mesh-related) complications, and recurrences after laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVR) for rectal prolapse syndromes in a large cohort of consecutive patients. BACKGROUND Long-term outcome data for prolapse repair are rare. A high incidence of mesh-related problems has been noted after transvag...

Rectal prolapse associated with traumatic fecal incontinence is a rare clinical combination. This study was designed to assess Delorme's operation with sphincteroplasty as a surgical management of this combination in terms of recurrence and improvement of fecal incontinence. In this prospective study, we enrolled patients suffering from short, full-thickness rectal prolapse associated with trau...

Background: Internal rectal prolapse probably represents the first stage of a progressive anomaly that eventually leads to full thickness external prolapse. Non-surgical treatment modalities like dietary advice and feedback therapy should be used before doing any surgical intervention in such cases. This study focuses on clinical features, pathological outcomes internal prolapse.Methods: The is...

AIM To demonstrated the efficacy an safety of a perineal stapled approach to treat the protrusion of the entire layer of the rectum outside the anus in high morbidity patients. MATHERIALS OF STUDY From February 2012 to april 2013, 7 patients (all female, mean age 74,2 years, range 48-88) were operated in our unit with perineal stapled prolapsed resection (PSPR) approach for a full thickness e...

1 of 3 DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old female presented with a 3-week history of non-specifi c abdominal pain. She had a history of rectal prolapse and was awaiting rectopexy. Clinical examination revealed gross anterior abdominal wall surgical emphysema ( fi gures 1 and 2 ) as well as surgical emphysema of the pararectal region on digital rectal examination. There were no signs of peritonitis. A rig...
