Rectal prolapse is the protrusion of the rectum through the anus. Causing fecal incontinence, chronic straining, and significantly impaired quality of life, this condition can be permanently treated with surgery.
Rectal prolapse does not improve with exercise or medication; surgery is the only definitive treatment.
Internal fixation of the rectum through the abdomen. Through small incisions, the prolapsed bowel is pulled up and fixed to the sacrum. Fast recovery and lowest recurrence rate among surgical options.
Preferred for elderly or high-risk patients. The prolapsed bowel segment is removed or tightened through the anal route. Lower anesthesia risk as no abdominal entry is required.
In hemorrhoids, only vascular cushions prolapse; in rectal prolapse, the entire bowel wall protrudes. The distinction can only be made by an experienced surgeon during examination.
Incontinence related to prolapse generally improves significantly after successful surgery once the pressure on the sphincters is relieved.
The cost depends on the surgical approach and hospital stay duration. For detailed information and appointments, contact us.
