Abstract Complete rectal prolapse is relatively uncommon and is a major problem as many surgical procedures for its treatment were used and also its causation is still obscure. The aim of this work was to evaluate the results of posterior rectopexy through posterior sagittal approach in management of complete rectal prolapse in adults. This study included 15 patients, nine females and six males, with their age ranging between 18-55 years (average 37 years). All patients were presented with complete rectal prolapse, and were examined clinically, investigated and treated by posterior rectopexy through posterior sagittal approach then. followed up every three months postoperatively. All of them were suffering from complete rectal prolapse with incontinence in only five of them, the incontinence was to flatus or soft motions. Three of them improved and became continent one month postoperatively, the remaining two patients still incontinent. |
