Bowel problems. Could not have bowel movement unless I used my fingers to move over a large red looking ball that would come out as I tried to go to the bathroom. Had a procedure done for anal laxity. postop:grade 2 rectal prolapse, grade 2 internal anal hemorrhoids. recta; bleeding, anal pain of medical therapy:procedure:transanal repair of rectal prolapse, extensive internal anal hemorrhoidectomy (modifier 59) anoscopy modifier 59. This did not solve problem. Went to 2 other Doctors, last Dr. they had me see did a procedure called maometry detocoymuphy. After that was told I need rectal surgery (hals), a portion of my colon with be removed because there is a kink in it. Going to schedule surgery for 5/2011. I am hoping to have your opinion. Thank you, Pegi meegan |

Dear Meegan Full-thickness rectal prolapse is the most commonly recognized type of rectal prolapse and is defined as protrusion of the full thickness of the rectal wall through the anus. Surgical treatment should correct both anatomical defects by combined rectopexy and colonic, Sigmoid colon resection, which is expected to be less constipating than rectopexy alone. rectopexy to the pelvic floor with prosthetic material combined with sigmoid resection is the only option in your case and according to the surgeons of World Laparoscopy Hospital this is a good decision of your surgeons. |
