Excerpt

The optimal operation for rectal prolapse is unclear. Various options exist. Broadly, one can carry out the operation via a perineal or abdominal approach. If perineal, should it be a Delormes or rectosigmoidectomy combined with a levatorplasty or not? If abdominal, should it be open or laparoscopic and should the rectum be simply mobilised or fixed? If fixed, what with and where from and to? Should the lateral ligaments be divided or preserved and should the redundant sigmoid be resected? …
