Treatment of rectal prolapse
2016, Seminars in Colon and Rectal SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, recurrence rates up to 58% and persistent bowel dysfunction are commonly reported.18,28,29 On the other hand, abdominal approaches have lower recurrence rates, which vary from 0% to 20%.17,21,30–33 The reason for this superior durability is not clearly known, but is attributed to the ability to perform a complete rectal mobilization and fixation under direct vision with no sacrifice to the rectal reservoir.
Rectal Prolapse: A Historical Perspective
2009, Current Problems in SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In 1998, Schultz and colleagues30 found that preoperative electrophysiologic assessment cannot predict continence after rectopexy. In 1988, Metcalf and Loening-Baucke31 studied anorectal function and defecation dynamics in patients with RP. They found that patients with RP have impaired sphincteric function that may be secondary to pudendal nerve injury.
Rectal Procidentia: Diagnosis and Management
2006, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaOutcome and management of patients with large rectoanal intussusception
2001, American Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :The study found that patients with large intussusception (≥10 mm) had a higher incidence of rectoanal inhibitory reflex absence, lower mean and maximal squeeze pressures, lower resting pressures, and a smaller rectal capacity. These manometric findings were similar to those of patients with rectal prolapse (11). However, there has still been debate about the risk for developing rectal prolapse.
