Summary

from December 2016 to July 2019, 36 elderly co-morbid patients with rectal prolapse were involved in this study which is performed in the GIT surgery unit of Zagazig University Hospital. the investigators used a modified linear stapler resection technique for the rectal prolapse. Postoperative follow up was done for one year to evaluate functional outcome, operative time, hospital stay and complications

Modified perineal linear stapler resection for external rectal prolapse

After anesthesia and patient position, the prolapse was pulled out Two vertical incision were made in both the inner and outer walls of the prolapse (at 3and 9 o'clock)1-2 cm in size approximately 2 cm above the dentate line. We used a reloadable linear cutter stapler (GIA 100mm Covidien, Mansfield, Mass., USA) passing through the tunnel to cut the anterior aspect of the prolapse . Then, after reload the stapler by the new cartridge, we used it to do the same for posterior wall and the prolapsed rectum was completely transected . We ensure that the stapler did not fire at the dentate line to avoid post-operative pain. Multiple 3-0 PDS intermittent full thickness sutures were done for hemostasis. The prolapsed rectum falls back into place spontaneously.
