Core Tip
Core Tip: Rectal prolapse mainly occurs in elderly women and is rare in young women. Perineal approaches, including perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeier perineal rectosigmoidectomy), are useful for not only elderly patients but also young women who desire pregnancy. However, postoperative anastomotic leakage should be considered. Recently, fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) has provided a real-time assessment of intestinal perfusion to prevent the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery. We describe here a case of a female adolescent patient with complete rectal prolapse who underwent ICG fluorescence imaging-assisted Altemeier perineal rectosigmoidectomy to prevent postoperative anastomotic leakage as well as surgery-related infertility.
