    Summary

    A new posterior parasacral surgical approach, the York Mason approach, effectively manages third-degree rectal prolapse. This technique allows for straightforward anterior levator approximation and posterior rectal fixation.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Pelvic Floor Disorders

    Background:

    • Third-degree rectal prolapse presents significant management challenges.
    • Existing surgical techniques may have limitations in addressing complex cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel posterior parasacral surgical approach for third-degree rectal prolapse.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of the York Mason approach for rectal fixation and levator approximation.

    Main Methods:

    • A posterior parasacral surgical approach, termed the York Mason approach, was utilized.
    • The technique involves anterior approximation of the levator musculature.
    • Posterior fixation of the rectum is achieved through this approach.

    Main Results:

    • The York Mason approach facilitates straightforward anterior approximation of the levator musculature.
    • Posterior fixation of the rectum is readily accomplished using this surgical method.
    • The approach is presented as a viable option for managing third-degree rectal prolapse.

    Conclusions:

    • The posterior parasacral York Mason approach offers an effective method for third-degree rectal prolapse management.
    • This technique simplifies key surgical steps, potentially improving outcomes for patients.
