[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.

The Oxford rectal prolapse grade (ORPG) is a grading system for rectal prolapse based on the radiographical appearance of the prolapse as seen on defecography. The lowest point of the intussesceptum relative to the rectum, the anal canal, and the rectocele (if present) determines the grading. [ 9 ]
