Abstract Summary 124 Summary RP, whose etiology is not identified clearly, is a complex anorectal disorder There is a growing consensus that rectal prolapse is a component of a multi-compartment pelvic floor dysfunction. Failure to select the most appropriate surgical technique according to patients’ general condition and additional symptoms impacts on the overall surgical success rate. Early intervention is important in the treatment of RP because the stage of fecal incontinence deteriorates as the duration between the commencement of the patient’s symptoms and surgery is extended. We believe that laparoscopic rectopexy should be considered as the first option in the treatment of RP owing to its acceptable recurrence rate and favorable early-term results, which include those in patients with co-morbidities and the elderly. At present, ventral prosthesis colporectopexy is a less invasive procedure and seems to offer very satisfactory results, namely low recurrence of prolapse and low constipation and incontinence rates. |
