Description
How does laparoscopic rectopexy compare with open surgery for rectal prolapse?
This 60-second video explains six key comparisons: access incisions, postoperative wound pain, hospital stay, early recovery, prolapse control and ongoing bowel care.
Both approaches restore and secure the rectum. For suitable patients, laparoscopy generally offers smaller incisions, less wound pain and quicker early recovery, with comparable prolapse control.
This video illustrates suture rectopexy. Mesh-based repairs and rectopexy combined with bowel resection are other options for selected patients.
Constipation or difficulty controlling stool may persist or develop after surgery, and prolapse can recur. Both approaches carry surgical risks. The appropriate repair and access depend on your symptoms, health, anatomy and specialist assessment.
