Proctoplasty for Rectal Prolapse is a surgical procedure designed to correct rectal prolapse by repairing and strengthening the rectal wall. This approach is often recommended for patients with significant prolapse that cannot be managed conservatively.
The procedure involves repositioning the prolapsed rectum and securing it to surrounding structures using sutures or mesh. In some cases, excess tissue is removed to restore normal anatomy and function. Proctoplasty can be performed via an abdominal or perineal approach, depending on the patient’s condition.
Postoperative care focuses on managing pain, preventing constipation, and supporting wound healing through dietary adjustments and proper hydration. Patients are typically advised to avoid heavy lifting during the recovery period.
Proctoplasty benefits patients by providing a durable solution for rectal prolapse, restoring bowel function, and improving quality of life. This procedure is particularly effective for individuals with chronic or severe prolapse.
