Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Rectal Prolapse Treatment Bengaluru

What is Rectal Prolapse?

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) protrudes outside the anus. It may cause discomfort, bleeding, incontinence, and difficulty with bowel movements. If left untreated, the condition can worsen over time and affect the patient’s quality of life.

What are Rectopexy and Altemeier’s Procedure?

Rectopexy Surgery is a procedure where the rectum is repositioned and secured to its normal location inside the pelvis, preventing it from prolapsing again. It can be performed through open or laparoscopic techniques.

Altemeier’s Procedure (perineal rectosigmoidectomy) involves removing the prolapsed rectum through the anus and reattaching the remaining part, often preferred for elderly or high-risk patients due to its less invasive approach.

Who Should Opt for Rectal Prolapse Surgery?

Surgery is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Visible protrusion of the rectum during or after bowel movements.
• Chronic constipation or straining.
• Fecal incontinence or difficulty controlling bowel movements.
• Bleeding, discomfort, or recurrent infections due to prolapse.
