The Délorme operation effectively treated rectal prolapse in 95.5% of patients. This surgical procedure resulted in minimal complications and preserved normal anal sphincter function in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Gastrointestinal Procedures

Background:

  • Full-thickness rectal prolapse is a condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • The Délorme operation is a recognized surgical technique for rectal prolapse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Délorme operation for full-thickness rectal prolapse.
  • To assess patient outcomes, including prolapse recurrence and anal sphincter function.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 22 patients who underwent the Délorme operation between 1981 and 1988.
  • Data collection focused on perioperative mortality, morbidity, prolapse recurrence, and anal sphincter function.

Main Results:

  • The Délorme operation demonstrated a high success rate, with 95.5% of patients cured of rectal prolapse.
  • Minimal perioperative mortality and morbidity were observed.
  • Normal anal sphincter function was restored in 86.4% of patients post-operatively.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Délorme operation is a safe and effective surgical treatment for full-thickness rectal prolapse.
    • The procedure offers excellent long-term outcomes regarding prolapse resolution and functional recovery.
    • This study supports the Délorme operation as a viable option for managing rectal prolapse.
