In 2020 another systematic review compared the use of synthetic mesh and biologic mesh in ventral mesh rectopexy for external rectal prolapse or symptomatic internal rectal prolapse. [19] The review included 32 studies containing a total of 4001 cases where synthetic mesh was used and 762 where biologic mesh was used.
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.
This procedure aims to improve FI by restoring the anorectal angle and lengthen the anal canal. The main indication is denervation of the pelvic floor (e.g. descending perineum syndrome). After the patient is anesthetized, an incision is made posterior to (behind) the anus and a space between the EAS and IAS is opened up.

The procedure reduces constipation and fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse or rectal intussusception, and has a low rate of complications and recurrence. [64] The procedure is able to correct multiple anatomical defects associated with vaginal and rectal prolapse, as well as improving function in terms of continence and defecation.
A mesh may be used to reinforce the anterior rectal wall. [8] It can be done as an open procedure or with a laparoscopic abdominal approach. [8] Some authors state rectopexy is suitable in highly select cases, [9] while others say it is the procedure of choice, [7] since it directly addresses the most likely cause. [8]
Colorectal surgery is a field in medicine dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. [1] The field is also known as proctology , but this term is now used infrequently within medicine and is most often employed to identify practices relating to the anus and rectum in particular.
