Rectal Prolapse Surgery
Articles and resources for Rectal Prolapse Surgery in Colorectal Surgery.
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the final section of the large intestine, slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. This condition can be caused by various factors, including chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or weakened pelvic muscles due to aging or childbirth. Surgery is often considered when the prolapse causes significant discomfort, bleeding, or impacts daily activities, and non-surgical treatments have not provided relief.
The surgical procedure for rectal prolapse typically involves repositioning the rectum and securing it to the surrounding tissues. There are different surgical techniques, including abdominal and perineal approaches, depending on the severity of the prolapse and the patient’s overall health. Patients can expect a hospital stay and a recovery period during which they may need to adjust their diet and activity levels. Surgeons will usually discuss the specific approach and what to expect during the recovery process.
The benefits of rectal prolapse surgery often include improved bowel function, reduced discomfort, and a better quality of life. Many patients experience significant relief from symptoms following the procedure. However, like any surgery, there are risks involved, such as infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, there may be a risk of recurrence of the prolapse or changes in bowel habits, which should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
