[Combined method of rectopexy in rectal prolapse with the use of skin autoimplants]

During 1964-1973 twenty six patients were operated upon for grave rectal prolapse (6 patients after 1-2 unsuccessful operations elsewhere). The combined method of rectopexy by means of skin autoimplants after the technic suggested by B.A. Barkov was employed. All patients recovered and were completely rehabilitated, the follow-up being from 2 to 10 years. No recurrences were noted.
