Excerpt

Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) was first described in 2004 to improve surgical outcomes in patients with external rectal prolapse operated between 1995 and 1999 [1]. The technique aims at correction of the full thickness intussusception as the leading cause. Dissection is limited to the rectovaginal septum and avoids extensive rectal mobilization. Despite a limited dissection, recurrence rates have been comparable to other more extensive techniques [2]. …
