Summary

Rectal prolapse is a protrusion of rectal wall through the anus. A surgical technique called Ventral mesh rectopexy has become a standard procedure for this condition in many centers.

The goal of this trial is to investigate functional outcome, recurrence rates and complications after ventral mesh rectopexy. The main question it aims to answer is:

\- Do bowel function, quality of life and sexual function improve after Ventral mesh rectopexy?

Participants will:

* be asked to fill in questionaires before surgery, 3-6 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery.
* be examined by a surgeon 3-6 months, 12 months and 3 years after surgery.

Conditions

  • Rectal Prolapse

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ventral mesh rectopexy

Ventral mesh rectopexy is performed with a superficial peritoneal incision from the right side of the sacral promontory, extended over the right outer border of the mesorectum, towards the deepest part of pouch of Douglas, sparing the right hypogastric nerve. In women, the vagina is retracted anteriorly and a dissection of the rectovaginal septum is performed down to the pelvic floor. A strip of mesh is attached to the ventral part of distal rectum and then fixed upon the sacral promontory.
