Rectal prolapse experience : 68 cases in 27 years

Abstract

Aim : Rectal Prolapse (RP) is a rare entity which is formed of intussusceptions of the rectum with all layers through out from the anus. It was first described in the Ebers papyrus in the 1500 BC. In this article , datas of patients which treated for rectal prolapse were discussed. Patients and Method : We retrospectively analyzed the patients with RP between 1978-2006 and 68 patients were detected. Results : All patients were submitted to abdominal rectopexy with various of synthetic materials that were followed as: 37 cases with Ivalon sponge, 26 cases with polypropylene mesh, four cases with Gore-tex mesh. One case with osteogenesis imperfecta underwent emergent operation and rectal pull-through was performed because of strangulation of the rectum. Mean followed-up time was 58 months. Two recurrence were observed. One of these patients had recurrence due to presacral hematoma during hospital stay and reoperated. The recurrence of the second patient occured in the first follow-up year and treated with the anterior resection. Conclusion : Although more than 100 types of surgical procedures for RP have been reported so far, the optimal method is still controversial. Because the abdominal rectopexy with synthetic materials is safely and easily performed, we suggest this surgical technique as the most appropriate one for RP rather than the other rectopexy techniques.
