ABSTRACT
There are two types of rectal prolapse viz, complete or procidentia and occult. Aetiology and management are usually different in children and adults. Control of prolapse by various methods of rectopexies, re-education of bowel habit and correction of sphincter dysfunction are the three phases of treatment in adults. Correction of malnutrition, digital reposition of the prolapse, submucous injection of 5% phenol in almond oil under general anaesthesia and lastly the Thiersch's operation are the methods of correction in children.
