Abstract:
An endolaparoscopic technique to perform a proctopexy is reported. This procedure appears to be ideally suited for this approach and, furthermore, it can be performed safely and effectively. Long-term predictions of morbidity, mortality and recurrence rates cannot yet be made, but those parameters might not be different from what would be expected with the open approach.
