Clinical features, pathological outcomes and management of internal rectal prolapse-combined retro-prospective observational study
International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences(2022)
Abstract
Background: Internal rectal prolapse probably represents the first stage of a progressive anomaly that eventually leads to full thickness external prolapse. Non-surgical treatment modalities like dietary advice and feedback therapy should be used before doing any surgical intervention in such cases. This study focuses on clinical features, pathological outcomes and treatment modalities of internal rectal prolapse.Methods: The study is a combined prospective (from Aug. 2018 to Aug. 2020) and retrospective (from Aug. 2015 to Aug. 2018) conducted at Sher-I-Kashmir institute of medical sciences, Soura, SrinagarResults: A total of 79 patients were studied out of which 39 were retrospective and 40 were prospective. Internal rectal prolapse is usually missed by surgeons as a cause of obstructed defecation syndrome. So, it was worthwhile to study this entity in our patients.Conclusions: Before choosing any treatment strategy for internal rectal prolapse, conservative trial with dietary modification and feedback therapy should be attempted.
