Rectal Prolapse: What are my options?

You are fortunate indeed to be able to have the abdominal laparoscopic procedure with its higher success rate. In this past year, I have had the perineal repair for a prolapsed rectum done in March and again in October when the first one failed. My advanced age was the deciding factor in my case. I think you will find that once the surgery is done, and you have healed, that your quality of life will improve markedly.

traveling: I see that you had the perineal repair for a prolapsed rectum. I haven't spoken to my doctor yet, but I will this Friday. That is what I am contemplating. I am 74 and have some nerve damage to my bladder and need to strain to pee. I have tried meds, etc. but right now looks like I will be self-catherizing, learning before surgery, then afterwards. I wanted to know how the surgery was and how long did it take for you to recover? Thank you so much. I manually push it in but now I have started with muscus discharge. Thank you.
