Rectal Prolapse

What is a rectal prolapse?

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which part of the rectum slips out of the anus. It may lead to defecatory problems such as fecal incontinence.

How is rectal prolapse diagnosed?

Diagnosis of a rectal prolapse is largely by physical examination by a specialized physician such as a colon and rectal surgeon.

How is rectal prolapse treated?

Treatment of rectal prolapse usually involves surgery. Some procedures are performed via the abdomen and others via the anus. Abdominal surgery may involve fixation of the rectum, removal of a portion of the colon or both.
