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.
Ventral rectopexy is a surgical procedure for external rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), and sometimes other conditions such as rectocele, obstructed defecation syndrome, or solitary rectal ulcer syndrome.
Rectopexy is a surgery for rectal prolapse. [3] A newer version of the procedure is termed ventral mesh rectopexy, which has also been used for SRUS. [11] It may be performed with or without anterior resection (removal of a portion of the front wall of the rectum). [9] It may be used with or without mesh to reinforce the anterior rectal wall. [8]
The predecessor of this procedure was sutured posterior rectopexy, in which the rectum was completely mobilized from the pelvic floor (i.e. including posterior and lateral surgical dissection of the rectum and sigmoid colon). [61] This caused autonomic nerve damage resulting in constipation and obstructed defecation after the surgery. [61]

Sigmoidocele may not cause any symptoms. [5]Obstructed defecation syndrome. [3] It has been suggested that a sigmoidocele does not cause obstruction, but rather is a compensatory mechanism which increases rectal pressure and helps evacuation in the presence of excessive perineal descent.
Lateral internal sphincterotomy is the preferred method of surgery for persons with chronic anal fissures, and is generally used when medical therapy has failed. [1] It is associated with a lower rate of side effects than older techniques such as posterior internal sphincterotomy and anoplasty, [3] and has also been shown to be superior to topical glyceryl trinitrate (GTN 0.2% ointment) in ...
A lower anterior resection, formally known as anterior resection of the rectum and colon and anterior excision of the rectum or simply anterior resection (less precise), is a common surgery for rectal cancer and occasionally is performed to remove a diseased or ruptured portion of the intestine in cases of diverticulitis.
