Abstract:
Twenty-seven patients presenting with complete rectal prolapse were treated by extracorporal resection using a stapling device. The mean age of the female patients was 74 +/- 15 years, the mean operation time 61 +/- 17 min, the mean length of hospital stay 17 +/- 8 days. 96% of the patients suffered from at least one concurrent disease necessitating treatment. Perioperative mortality was 3.7%, postoperative complications occurred in 18% of our patients. After surgery 19% of the patients were incontinent. Extracorporal resection using a stapling device proves to be a secure and technically easy-to-perform procedure in the treatment of complete rectal prolapse. Due to several advantages compared with transabdominal procedures, the indication for perineal repair of a complete rectal prolapse by extracorporal resection should not be confined to high-risk patients.

The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
