Rectal prolapse is the protrusion (prolapse) of the rectum through the anus. Doctors say that a rectal prolapse is caused by weakness or loss of the usual support structures of the rectum. Laparoscopic rectopexy surgery is one of the surgical procedures used to treat patients with rectal prolapse.
During the rectopexy surgery, the rectum is usually restored back to its normal position, which stops it from protruding (prolapsing) through the anus. The rectum is secured in its place with stitchesmesh. Laparoscopic rectopexy surgery is usually performed via very small incisions made in the patient’s abdomen. The doctors use a laparoscope, which is inserted through the incision, for them to get a view of the stomach. All surgical instruments used during rectopexy surgery are placed through the small incisions.
