Rectal mucosal prolapse (or simply mucosal prolapse) [14] is when only the mucosal layer of the rectal wall or lining of the anal canal protrudes into or beyond the anal canal. [ 7 ] [ 14 ] The folds in the protruding segment of mucosa are orientated radially in rectal mucosal prolapse. [ 13 ]
Rectal mucosal prolapse (mucosal prolapse, anal mucosal prolapse) is a sub-type of rectal prolapse, and refers to abnormal descent of the rectal mucosa through the anus. [21] It is different to an internal intussusception (occult prolapse) or a complete rectal prolapse (external prolapse, procidentia) because these conditions involve the full ...
For example, the mucosal changes that occur with external rectal prolapse can be separated from the mucosal changes seen in SRUS. [ 6 ] The excessive pressure caused by straining (i.e. dyssynergic defecation and constipation) may in the long term lead to development of the spectrum of rectal prolapse conditions (mucosal versus full-thickness ...
Mucosal ectropion is another condition which may occur after hemorrhoidectomy (often together with anal stenosis). [44] This is where the anal mucosa becomes everted from the anus, similar to a very mild form of rectal prolapse. [44] Excisional hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical excision of the hemorrhoid used primarily only in severe cases. [1]
STARR has also been used to treat rectal mucosal prolapse, [4] [8] hemorroids (when associated with rectal internal mucosal prolapse), [9] [10] and solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (which often occurs with internal rectal prolapse). [4] STARR has also been used for descending perineum syndrome. [11] [12] [13]
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 .
Due to embarrassment, people may only mention secondary symptoms rather than acknowledge incontinence. Any major underlying cause will produce additional signs and symptoms, such as protrusion of mucosa in external rectal prolapse. Symptoms of fecal leakage (FL) are similar and may occur after defecation.
When used to treat rectal prolapse or mucosal prolapse, it is injected into a wider area (not just into the hemorrhoid cushions, but also into parts of the rectal mucosa), leading to thickening and toughening of the anal canal and rectal wall. This has been shown to increase the maximal resting pressure of the anal canal.
