Rectal prolapse is a distressing condition associated with incontinence. However, incarcerated rectal prolapse is a rather rare entity. We had a 75-year-old man with irreducible rectal prolapse who required recto-perineal sigmoidectomy (Altemeier’s procedure) after failure of initial conservative treatment. Histology showed rectal tubulo villous adenoma with moderate to severe dysplasia. This c...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder. Anorectal involvement might typically cause fecal incontinence and rarely rectal prolapse. Here we report three female patients, who were admitted with a mean history of 10 years suffering from SSc. All patients presented with the initial symptom of anal incontinence, in all cases this was associated with rectal intussuscepti...
