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.
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 [3] A newer version of the procedure is termed ventral mesh rectopexy, which has also been used for SRUS.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]
Compared to native tissue repair, transvaginal permanent mesh likely reduces the perception of vaginal prolapse sensation, the risk of recurrent prolapse, and of having repeat surgery specifically only for prolapse. Transvaginal mesh (TVM) has a greater risk of bladder injury and of needing repeat surgery for stress urinary incontinence or mesh ...
It has also been used for treatment of rectal prolapse and rectocele. [8] The material causes a local inflammatory reaction, followed by sclerosis and retraction of tissues. This results in a chronic granulomatous inflammatory process and persistent fibrosis. When used to treat rectal prolapse or mucosal prolapse, it is injected into a wider ...
A Chinese man suffered a severe instance of rectal prolapse after he sat on a toilet for half an hour while playing games on his cellphone, according to reports.. The Daily Mail reports that the ...
A mesh is placed between the anterior wall of the rectum and the vagina. [61] The mesh is then fixed to the sacrum, [64] and the vaginal vault is fixed to the mesh. The mech reinforces the anterior rectal wall, which aims to prevent recurrence of enterocele, intussusception and rectocele. [61] The pouch of Douglas is lost in the process. [61]
Surgery is considered if there is a significant hernia combined with symptoms of obstructed defecation. [9] Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy has been used to correct sigmoidocele. [7] This procedure involves inserting a mesh between the rectum and the vagina. The mesh is suspended from the sacral promontory without tension.
