    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Complete rectal prolapse affects a significant number of elderly individuals.
    • Traditional surgical treatments can carry substantial risks for this patient population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Delorme operation for complete rectal prolapse.
    • To assess the recurrence rate and patient outcomes following the Delorme procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive series of 27 patients with complete rectal prolapse underwent the Delorme operation.
    • Patient demographics, prolapse characteristics, and postoperative outcomes were recorded.

    Main Results:
