About Rectal Prolapse Repair

Rectal prolapse repair is a surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to correct a condition where the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) turns inside out and protrudes through the anus. This can cause significant discomfort, fecal incontinence, and difficulty with bowel movements. The primary goal of the surgery is to restore the rectum to its normal anatomical position and secure it within the pelvis to prevent recurrence. Several surgical approaches exist, including abdominal procedures (like rectopexy, often performed laparoscopically) and perineal procedures (like the Altemeier or Delorme procedures), chosen based on the patient's age, overall health, and the severity of the prolapse. The surgery aims to alleviate symptoms, improve bowel control, and enhance the patient's quality of life.

Key Highlights

Effectively corrects the protrusion of the rectum, restoring normal anatomy.Significantly improves symptoms like fecal incontinence, constipation, and rectal bleeding.Can be performed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for reduced pain and faster recovery.Aims for a long-term solution with a low recurrence rate when performed appropriately.Enhances overall quality of life and personal comfort.

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic constipation or straining associated with the prolapse.
Fecal incontinence (inability to control bowel movements) caused by the prolapse.
Persistent mucous discharge, bleeding, or a sensation of rectal fullness.
Failure of conservative management, such as dietary changes or pelvic floor therapy.
Ulceration, strangulation, or incarceration of the prolapsed tissue.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation, including a detailed history and physical exam, often with defecography.
Pre-operative counseling to discuss surgical options (abdominal vs. perineal approach) and risks.
Bowel preparation (cleansing) using a prescribed laxative or enema kit the day before surgery.

Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications, especially blood thinners, as advised by the surgeon.
Arranging for post-operative support and transportation home after hospital discharge.

Pain management with prescribed medications and use of stool softeners to prevent straining.
A gradual return to a high-fiber diet and adequate fluid intake to promote regular, soft bowel movements.
Avoidance of heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and prolonged sitting for several weeks.
Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and assess functional outcomes.
