Ventral rectopexy is a surgical procedure for external rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), and sometimes other conditions such as ...
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 [3] A newer version of the procedure is termed ventral mesh rectopexy, which has also been used for SRUS. [14] It may be performed with or without anterior resection (removal of a portion of the front wall of the rectum). [9] A mesh may be used to reinforce the anterior rectal wall. [8]
Rifampicin is the INN and BAN, while rifampin is the USAN. Rifampicin may be abbreviated R, RMP, RA, RF, or RIF (US). [citation needed] Rifampicin is also known as rifaldazine, [63] [64] rofact, and rifampin in the United States, also as rifamycin SV. [65]
Ventral rectopexy was developed in 2004 as a modification which would not destroy these nerves, since only the ventral/anterior surface (the front surface) is mobilized. [61] 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.
Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) was a surgical weight-loss procedure performed for the relief of morbid obesity from the 1950s through the 1970s in which all but 30 cm (12 in) to 45 cm (18 in) of the small bowel were detached and set to the side.
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.
A bowel resection or enterectomy (enter-+ -ectomy) is a surgical procedure in which a part of an intestine (bowel) is removed, from either the small intestine or large intestine.
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.
