When defecography is performed on healthy volunteers, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception) is detected in about 50-60% of cases. [26] Therefore, symptom severity and the impact on quality of life for the individual are more important factors for surgeons when they are considering this type of surgery.
A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
Stapled trans-anal rectal resection (STARR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for conditions such as obstructed defecation syndrome, internal rectal prolapse, and rectocele. Circular surgical staplers are used to resect (remove) sections of the wall of the rectum via the anus. The defects are then closed with surgical staples.
It is most common in dogs six to eight months old. Surgery is necessary for treatment. [149] Lymphangiectasia is an intestinal disease of dogs characterized by chronic diarrhea and loss of proteins such as serum albumin and globulin. It is considered to be a chronic form of protein-losing enteropathy.
Diagnosis is by rectal examination. A specialized tool called a "Perineocaliper" can be used to measure the descent of the perineum. A retro anal ultrasound scan may demonstrate the condition. [1] "Anti sagging tests", whereby the abnormal descent is corrected temporarily, may help to show whether symptoms are due to descending perineum ...

None of the included studies reported long term follow up after 3, 6 or 12 months post procedure. [9] In another review of 889 patients across 23 studies, a pooled improvement rate in measures of incontinence was 39.5%. [8] In some cases there is no improvement after the procedure, and the injections are repeated in up to 34% of cases. [8]
