Redo minimally invasive ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent external rectal prolapse (ERP) and internal rectal prolapse (IRP). This procedure demonstrated acceptable recurrence and reoperation rates in a recent study.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is a common surgical treatment for posterior pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Limited evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of repeat VMR procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the technical aspects, safety, and outcomes of redo minimally invasive VMR.
  • To assess the procedure for patients experiencing recurrence of external rectal prolapse (ERP) or internal rectal prolapse (IRP).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 43 patients undergoing redo minimally invasive VMR between 2011 and 2016.
  • Data included demographics, perioperative details, and short-term postoperative outcomes.
  • Long-term follow-up assessed disease-related symptoms and quality of life via questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • The primary indications were recurrent ERP (22 patients) and symptomatic IRP (21 patients).
  • Complications occurred in 23.3% of patients, with 4.7% related to mesh.
  • The recurrence rate for ERP was 4.5%, and patients with recurrent ERP showed greater benefit.

Conclusions:

  • Redo minimally invasive VMR is a safe and effective option for posterior pelvic floor dysfunction.
  • The procedure offers acceptable rates of recurrence and reoperation.
