Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ［Abstract］Surgery is the primary treatment for rectal prolapse. Although multiple surgical procedures are available, postoperative recurrence remains a key concern for specialists. For patients with recurrent rectal prolapse who have undergone numerous surgeries, the local anatomical landscape is more complex, along with a higher risk of postoperative recurrence and adverse functional outcomes. The Department of Anorectal Surgery, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yatsen University admitted a patient with recurrent rectal prolapse who had undergone numerous surgeries. The patient underwent a staged surgical treatment including laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy with posterior pelvic floor reconstruction in the first-stage, followed by anal sphincter enfoldment and plasty via the transsacrococcygeal approach in the second-stage. During a 12-month follow-up, the surgical outcomes were favorable. This article reports the clinical diagnosis and treatment process of this patient, aiming to share our experience with fellow professionals.
