Rectopexy for Rectal Prolapse

Rectopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse, a condition where the rectum falls out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. During the surgery, the surgeon repositions the rectum and secures it to the surrounding tissues or pelvic wall to prevent it from falling again. This helps restore normal function and alleviate symptoms like discomfort or difficulty with bowel movements. Rectopexy can be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, and it aims to improve a patient’s quality of life by addressing this uncomfortable condition.
