Background; Over the last decades, numerous procedures have been proposed to treat rectal
prolapse (RP) often with contrasting results, underlying the continuing search for the ideal
surgical treatment. This should correct RP and/or rectal intussusception (RI) and derived
symptoms. This study aims to evaluate and compare the functional outcome after laparoscopic
Ventral Mesh Rectopexy and laparoscopic suture Rectopexy for the surgical Treatment of Internal
Rectal Prolapse Subjects and methods; This was prospective study, was carried out in General
Surgery Department of Benha University Hospital on 30 patients with internal rectal prolapse
those randomly divided into 2 groups: (Group A): 15 patients who were proposed to do
laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, (Group B): 15 patients who were proposed to do
laparoscopic suture rectopexy. Results; Ventral Mesh Rectopexy operation time was highly
significantly longer than Laparoscopic Suture. There was no significant difference between the
two groups regarding intra operative complications except one case of bleeding in LSR group. Conclusion; Both laparoscopic mesh rectopexy and suture rectopexy are feasible and reliable
methods for the treatment of internal rectal prolapse associated with low recurrence rate, improvement of ODS symptoms and better anorectal function.
