Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum slips down and protrudes through the anus. It commonly affects elderly individuals and people with chronic constipation or weak pelvic muscles. Rectal prolapse can cause discomfort, bleeding, mucus discharge, and difficulty controlling bowel movements. Surgical treatment is often required for permanent correction.

Surgical Treatments

  • Laparoscopic rectal prolapse repair
  • Complete rectal prolapse
  • Partial (mucosal) prolapse
  • Recurrent rectal prolapse
  • Prolapse with constipation
  • Prolapse with incontinence
  • Advanced prolapse cases
