We report a rare case of rectal prolapse with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome in which laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy and rectopexy were performed simultaneously and resulted in improved quality of life due to the loss of ascites and the repair of rectal prolapse. Laparoscopic surgery is feasible for rectal prolapse with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome.

There were 14 female and 2 male patients aged from 42 to 92 (mean age 69 years). Primary abdominal rectopexy was performed in 5 patients, 3 patients underwent perineal rectosigmoide...

Background The recent literature confirms that perineal rectosigmoidectomy sec. Altemeier in the case of a full-thickness rectal prolapse represents, to the state, the procedure of choice even if burdened by a relatively high recurrence rate. Some authors oppose the transabdominal rectopexy to the perineal resection with or without resection of the sigma, with or without the aid of prosthesis, ...

BACKGROUND Fecal incontinence is frequently associated with rectal prolapse, but little is known about recovery after treatment of the prolapse. OBJECTIVE We therefore aimed to investigate the long-term outcome of fecal incontinence in a cohort of patients suffering from full-thickness rectal prolapse. DESIGN A database of 145 patients diagnosed with full-thickness rectal prolapse was compi...
