Core Tip

Core Tip: Internal rectal prolapse (IRP) is one of the most common causes of obstructive constipation. The incidence of IRP in women is approximately three times that in men. From January 2012 to October 2014, we collected the clinical data of 130 female patients with IRP who underwent surgical treatment. We compared the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic integral pelvic floor/ligament repair (IPFLR) combined with a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids and the laparoscopic IPFLR alone. Integral theory–guided laparoscopic IPFLR combined with procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids has a higher cure rate and a better clinical efficacy than laparoscopic IPFLR alone.
