    Lahaut's operation effectively treated complete rectal prolapse in 34 patients, with no recurrences. This simple surgical technique also improved incontinence in most patients, avoiding synthetic mesh complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Procedures
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Complete rectal prolapse is a debilitating condition requiring surgical intervention.
    • Previous surgical treatments have utilized synthetic materials like Ivalon or Teflon, posing potential risks.
    • There is a need for effective and safe surgical alternatives for rectal prolapse.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lahaut's operation for treating complete rectal prolapse.
    • To assess the impact of Lahaut's operation on associated fecal incontinence.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 34 patients with complete rectal prolapse underwent Lahaut's operation.
    • The procedure involves mobilizing the rectosigmoid and implanting it into the posterior rectus sheath.

  • Patient outcomes, including prolapse recurrence and incontinence, were monitored postoperatively.

    • Main Results:

    • No cases of rectal prolapse recurrence were observed in the 34 treated patients.
    • Significant improvement in fecal incontinence was noted in 11 out of 12 patients.
    • One patient experienced a postoperative mortality, unrelated to the surgical technique itself.

    Conclusions:

    • Lahaut's operation presents a simple and effective surgical solution for complete rectal prolapse.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate in preventing prolapse recurrence.
    • It offers a favorable alternative to techniques involving synthetic surgical implants, mitigating associated risks.
