Laparoscopic Rectopexy

Laparoscopic rectopexy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse, a condition where the rectum protrudes outside the body. The surgeon accesses the abdomen through small incisions, using a camera and specialized instruments. During the operation, the rectum is repositioned and secured to the surrounding pelvic structures with stitches or mesh, helping to prevent future prolapse. This technique typically results in less pain, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery, making it a preferred option for many patients with this condition.
