Rectal prolapse surgery (rectopexy) may take place through your abdomen or perineum (a perineal rectosigmoidectomy). Without surgery, rectal prolapse can worsen fecal incontinence and lead to more serious issues.

Ventral rectopexy is a surgical procedure for external rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), and sometimes other conditions such as rectocele, obstructed defecation syndrome, or solitary rectal ulcer syndrome.

Ventral rectopexy has gained popularity in Europe to treat full-thickness rectal external and internal prolapse. This procedure has been shown to achieve acceptable anatomic results with low recurrence rates, few complications, and improvements of both …

Ventral rectopexy (VR) has recently gained acceptance as a safe and effective approach in the treatment of rectal intussusception and rectal prolapse. Anatomically, VR addresses rectal intussusception with or without rectal prolapse when the lead point is located anteriorly.

Ventral Mesh Rectopexy. Ventral Mesh Rectopexy is a procedure involving the suspension and fixation of the front of the rectum and pelvic floor to the bony sacral promontory with a bio-dissolvable mesh. In this technique, the nerves to the rectum that enter from the back and side are preserved with mobilisation only from the front of the rectum.

What is a robotic ventral rectopexy? The term “rectopexy” refers to an operation in which the rectum (the part of the bowel nearest the anus) is put back into its normal position in the pelvis. One of the most common reasons for patients to undergo this surgery is external rectal prolapse (bowel coming out through the anus).

Oct 16, 2019 · What does the future hold for ventral rectopexy? Functional outcome after laparoscopic posterior sutured rectopexy versus ventral mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse: six-year follow-up of a double-blind, randomised single-centre study

The most common reason for a ventral mesh rectopexy (‘VMR’ for short) is to repair an external rectal prolapse (bowel coming out through the anus). Another reason for surgery is internal prolapse or “intussusception” when the rectum ‘telescopes’ in …

Robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR), available at The George Washington University Hospital, is a valuable tool to repair rectal prolapse, offering an alternative to traditional and laparoscopic surgery.

Aug 12, 2020 · Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy is an innovative operative technique to avoid excessive rectal dissection and de novo constipation symptoms. Outcomes for management of external rectal prolapse are favorable and comparable to traditional abdominal approaches.
