Overview
Rectopexy is a surgical procedure which is used to reposition a prolapsed, or fallen, rectum. It is performed to reduce symptoms associated with a prolapsed rectum, such as fecal incontinence and constipation, as well as to improve quality of life. During the procedure, the rectum is held in the correct anatomical position with sutures, staples, or a mesh to help support it. The procedure can be performed through the abdomen, laparoscopically, or through the vagina. It is a safe and effective procedure for treating rectal prolapse and can help improve the quality of life for those affected.
