Abstract:
Here, we offer a step-by-step description of the technique for a Delorme's mucosectomy and muscular plication in our favoured prone jack-knife position, which is our preferred approach in patients who are frail, and unable to tolerate the pneumoperitoneum required for minimally invasive surgery. The principles of this technique are to reduce the prolapse, relieve incontinence and prevent obstructive defecation. This article is supplemented by a series of high-quality clinical images.
