    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery

    Background:

    • Rectal prolapse involves the protrusion of rectal tissue.
    • Two main types exist: complete (procidentia) and occult rectal prolapse.
    • Etiology and management vary between pediatric and adult populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the distinct etiologies and management strategies for rectal prolapse in children versus adults.
    • To detail the treatment phases for adult rectal prolapse.
    • To describe corrective methods for pediatric rectal prolapse.

    Main Methods:

    • Adult treatment involves rectopexy, bowel habit re-education, and sphincter dysfunction correction.
    • Pediatric correction includes addressing malnutrition, digital repositioning, submucous phenol injection under anesthesia, and Thiersch's operation.

    Main Results:

    • Management approaches are tailored based on patient age (pediatric vs. adult).
    • Adult rectal prolapse treatment focuses on prolapse control and functional restoration.
    • Pediatric rectal prolapse management prioritizes direct correction and addressing underlying factors like malnutrition.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective rectal prolapse management requires age-specific strategies.
    • A multi-faceted approach is necessary for both pediatric and adult cases.
    • Understanding the differences in etiology and presentation is key to successful treatment outcomes.
