Abstract

Numerous approaches have been described for the treatment of rectal prolapse. The two basic categories of operation are transabdominal and perineal. The former type tend to be more durable with lower recurrence rates but at the expense of higher morbidity. The latter group tends to be safer but associated with higher recurrence rates and less functional recovery. More recently, the abdominal approaches have been modified to be laparoscopically accomplished in most cases. Different methods and indications for rectal prolapse management will be described and discussed based in literature evidences.
