ENGLISH ABSTRACT
JOURNAL ARTICLE
[Surgical treatment of rectal prolapse].
The aim of surgical treatment is to anatomically restore rectal prolapse and functionally remedy fecal incontinence and disorder of rectal emptying. There is not yet sufficient evidence-based knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical methods, but in practice transabdominal surgery is recommended for patients in good condition and perineal surgery for elderly and frail patients suffering from associated diseases. The progress of laparoscopic surgery has, however, made the transabdominal operation possible for those in increasingly poor condition. With this procedure a significant improvement of defecation disorder is achieved in over 80% of patients.
