Background:

Complete rectal prolapse is a debilitating condition.
Transabdominal procedures are not suitable for all patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Delorme's operation for complete rectal prolapse.

Main Methods:

Twelve patients underwent Delorme's operation under local anesthesia.
Median follow-up was 3 years.

Main Results:

No postoperative mortality or cardiopulmonary complications.
Two recurrences observed after 3 years.
Delorme's procedure showed superiority compared to the Thiersch operation.

Conclusions:

Delorme's operation is a safe and effective alternative for complete rectal prolapse.
It is particularly suitable for patients ineligible for transabdominal surgery.
