Rectal prolapse and intussusception, often linked to other pelvic floor issues, can be effectively treated with ventral rectopexy. This surgical approach, sometimes combined with sacrocolpopexy, offers a safe solution for improving quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Background:

  • Rectal prolapse and intussusception are debilitating conditions impacting quality of life.
  • These posterior compartment defects frequently coexist with middle and anterior compartment prolapse.
  • A multicompartment approach is often necessary for comprehensive treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology of rectal prolapse and intussusception.
  • To describe surgical indications, workup, and technical aspects of ventral rectopexy.
  • To discuss complications and outcomes of ventral rectopexy, with or without sacrocolpopexy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on rectal prolapse and ventral rectopexy.
  • Description of surgical techniques for ventral rectopexy and combined procedures.

  • Analysis of reported outcomes and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Ventral rectopexy is a safe and effective treatment for rectal prolapse.
    • The procedure can be performed alone or combined with sacrocolpopexy for multicompartment prolapse.
    • Outcomes data indicate successful treatment with manageable complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Ventral rectopexy is a valuable surgical option for rectal prolapse and associated pelvic floor defects.
    • Combined with sacrocolpopexy, it addresses multicompartment prolapse effectively.
    • The review highlights the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of this surgical approach.
