Case Report: Delorme Technique for the Treatment of Giant Non-Reducible Rectal Prolapse at the Second Level of Care
Main Article Content
Abstract
Rectal prolapse is an invagination of the rectum that causes it to protrude through the anus. Irreducible rectal prolapse is an unusual condition; in most cases, the prolapse reduces spontaneously.
Non-surgical treatment alternatives have been noted, such as the use of sugar, which reduces rectal prolapse. The results have not yet been compared against surgical treatment, so they cannot yet be considered the preferred option. Given the many techniques and procedures, it should be considered that the best procedure must be chosen not only to correct the prolapse but also to restore defecatory function and to improve fecal incontinence throughout the patient's lifetime. The Delorme procedure is a transanal technique that addresses complete rectal prolapse with a low surgical risk and minimal morbidity (less damage to pelvic and hypogastric nerves compared to abdominal procedures). It is associated with a significant improvement in anal continence, low recurrence rates, short hospital stays, and patient comfort.
