Rectopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse, a condition in which the rectum protrudes from the anus. The surgery involves securing the rectum to the pelvic wall to prevent it from prolapsing.
The procedure is typically performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, reducing recovery time and postoperative pain. The rectum is anchored in place with sutures or mesh, restoring normal function and preventing further prolapse.
Postoperative care includes dietary modifications to avoid constipation, managing pain, and regular follow-ups to ensure the surgery's success. Most patients experience significant relief from symptoms and can return to daily activities.
Rectopexy offers an effective solution for rectal prolapse, restoring normal bowel function and improving the patient’s quality of life.
