SymptomsResectionSliding herniaHemorrhoidalAnalAnatomicCasesInternalPatientsProblems

Symptoms1

• In addition to correcting the symptoms associated with the prolapse, problems with bleeding from the piles are also resolved by this excision. (wikipedia.org)

Resection1

• Newer surgical procedures include stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH). (wikipedia.org)

Sliding hernia1

• The first theory postulates that rectal prolapse is a sliding hernia through a defect in the pelvic fascia. (medscape.com)

Hemorrhoidal2

• Severe cases of hemorrhoidal prolapse will normally require surgery. (wikipedia.org)
• PPH is generally indicated for the more severe cases of internal hemorrhoidal prolapse (3rd and 4th degree) where surgery would normally be indicated. (wikipedia.org)

Anal5

• Patients may complain of bleeding, prolapse, personal discomfort and minor anal leakage. (wikipedia.org)
• Rectal prolapse occurs when a mucosal or full-thickness layer of rectal tissue protrudes through the anal orifice. (medscape.com)
• Internal intussusception may be a full-thickness or a partial rectal wall disorder, but the prolapsed tissue does not pass beyond the anal canal and does not pass out of the anus. (medscape.com)
• The second theory holds that rectal prolapse starts as a circumferential internal intussusception of the rectum beginning 6-8 cm proximal to the anal verge. (medscape.com)
• These features include a patulous or weak anal sphincter with levator diastasis, deep anterior Douglas cul-de-sac, poor posterior rectal fixation with a long rectal mesentery, and redundant rectosigmoid. (medscape.com)

Anatomic2

• Certain anatomic features found during surgery for rectal prolapse are common to most patients. (medscape.com)
• Whether these anatomic features are the cause or result of the prolapsing rectum is not known. (medscape.com)

Cases4

• Because of this, surgeons will generally reserve formal excision for the most severe cases of prolapse, or for patients who have failed to respond to conventional treatments. (wikipedia.org)
• The procedure may be contra-indicated when only one cushion is prolapsed or in severe cases of fibrotic piles which cannot be physically repositioned. (wikipedia.org)
• As many as 50% of prolapse cases are caused by chronic straining with defecation and constipation. (medscape.com)
• We herein report the unique features of these cases. (bvsalud.org)

Internal2

• The pathophysiology and etiology of mucosal prolapse most likely differ from those of full-thickness rectal prolapse and internal intussusception. (medscape.com)
• Often, prolapse begins with an internal prolapse of the anterior rectal wall and progresses to full prolapse. (medscape.com)

Patients1

• With time and straining, this progresses to full-thickness rectal prolapse, though some patients never progress beyond this stage. (medscape.com)

Problems1

• In addition to correcting the symptoms associated with the prolapse, problems with bleeding from the piles are also resolved by this excision. (wikipedia.org)
