Effect of laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair and the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids for complete rectal prolapse / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate treatment of laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) for complete rectal prolapse (CRP).Methods:A total of 36 CRP patients treated by laparoscopic rectopexy associated with the procedure for PPH at No. 989 Hospital of PLA between Oct 2014 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Operations were successful in all these 36 cases.One patient developed left post-op hydronephrosis and no other major complications were observed , such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage, infection. 2 of 36 patients developed recurrent prolapse. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 12th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.97±1.36) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=17.39, P<0.05; (6.28±1.49) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=16.32, P<0.05]. The constipation score and incontinence score at the 24th month after operation were significantly different from those before operation[(5.81±1.28) vs.(10.92±1.96), t=15.36, P<0.05 ; (6.03±1.67) vs.(10.81±2.16), t=14.64, P<0.05]. But there was no significant difference on the 12th and 24th month after surgery ( t=0.85, P>0.05 and t=1.12, P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic rectopexy with Douglas pouch repair plus the procedure for PPH for CRP is a effective treatment.
