Rectal Prolapse Treatment – Dr. K. K. Trehan
Rectal prolapse is a condition where part of the rectum protrudes through the anus, causing discomfort and affecting daily life. Dr. K. K. Trehan offers advanced and effective treatment options, including minimally invasive procedures, to ensure safe recovery and long-term relief.
What is Rectal Prolapse?
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum slips out through the anus. This condition can be uncomfortable and may worsen over time if not treated. It can affect bowel function and overall quality of life.
Causes of Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse may develop due to chronic constipation or diarrhea, long-term straining during bowel movements, aging-related muscle weakness, or previous injury to the anal or pelvic region. Weakening of the anal sphincter muscles is also a contributing factor.
Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse
Common symptoms include a visible bulge or tissue protruding from the anus, pain during bowel movements, mucus or blood discharge, and difficulty controlling bowel movements. In some cases, patients may also experience reduced sensation or urge to pass stool.
Treatment Options
Initial treatment may involve non-surgical management such as stool softeners, dietary changes, and medications to improve bowel habits. In mild cases, the prolapse can be manually reduced. However, surgical treatment is often required for long-term correction, especially in moderate to severe cases.
Surgical Management
Surgical treatment can be performed through perineal or abdominal approaches. The abdominal approach may involve rectopexy, where the rectum is fixed in place, or resection, where a portion of the bowel is removed. These procedures can be performed using open or laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques depending on the patient’s condition.
Laparoscopic Surgery Benefits
Laparoscopic surgery offers advantages such as smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Advanced procedures like rectopexy and anterior resection are commonly performed using this technique with excellent results.
