Rectal Prolapse Surgery
A “prolapse” is when an organ slips out or falls out from its original place. A “rectal prolapse” is the protrusion of rectum (the last part of the large intestine) out of the anal canal. Though it is not a medical emergency, it can be very unnerving and leads to an impaired quality of life and distress for the patient.
A prolapse could be “internal” when the wall of the rectum prolapses but does not protrude out of the anal canal. It could be “mucosal” where there is partial thickness protrusion of the mucosa (inner lining) of the rectum. This kind of prolapse can sometimes be confused with piles. Prolapse can be a full thickness protrusion of rectum outside the anal canal when it is called – “procidentia”.
