    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Rectal prolapse is a condition requiring management in children.
    • Traditional conservative management in the UK has involved recurrent manipulative reductions.
    • Recurrent prolapse causes discomfort for the child and anxiety for parents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review factors causing rectal prolapse in children.
    • To propose an alternative early-stage treatment.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of phenol in almond oil injections.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of factors contributing to pediatric rectal prolapse.
    • Treatment of 18 pediatric cases with phenol in almond oil injection.
    • Procedure performed under general anesthesia as a day case.

    Main Results:

    • A single injection of phenol in almond oil was successful in all 18 cases.
    • The treatment prevented further occurrences of rectal prolapse.
    • The intervention reduced parental anxiety and child discomfort.

    Conclusions:

    • Phenol in almond oil injection is an effective early-stage treatment for pediatric rectal prolapse.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative to conservative management.
    • The procedure is safe and can be performed on a day-case basis.
