Severe cases of hemorrhoidal prolapse will normally require surgery. Newer surgical procedures include stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH). Both STARR and PPH are contraindicated in persons with either enterocele or anismus .
SRUS is usually accompanied by prolapse (e.g. external rectal prolapse or internal rectal prolapse / internal intussusception) or other pelvic-floor disorders. [1] [7] This association is common, but not always present. [9] Some state that if SRUS is not treated, it would always tend to progress to rectal prolapse. [5]
When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce stress urinary incontinence. [13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...

[10] External rectal prolapse may be visible externally while the individual is straining, whereas IRP is not visible externally and can only be detected with investigations ...
