Rectal prolapse is a troublesome anorectal disorder. Surgical procedures for rectal prolapse contain transabdominal and transperineal approaches. There are hundreds of transabdominal procedures currently available for treatment of the disease, such as Ripstein procedure, Wells procedure, Orr procedure, Nigro procedure, anterior resection, Frykman-Goldberg procedure, and Roscoe Graham procedure. Laparoscopic repair represents the latest advance in surgical treatment of rectal prolapse. As each procedure has its strength and weakness, personalized selection of appropriate procedure can greatly improve surgical outcome. Individualized diagnosis and treatment plan may represent a new direction for transabdominal surgical treatment of rectal prolapse.
