What kind of surgery did you have for rectal prolapse? I’m trying to get in to see someone at Mayo to go over my options. It’s reached the point of continence so I have to deal with this.
I saw colon rectal surgeon who repair the rectal prolapse by pulling it back where it belong and stapped on
the back wall. I was on bed rest waiting for surg ery due to the pandemic only emergency surgery could
be done at christiana Care
It was not to plesant but my best option On my way to recovery
Hope this was of sone help for you if you need more help Contact me Good Luck

What is the name of this procedure? Did they go in through the stomach or anus? Was it laparoscopic?
Sorry for all the questions but i don’t know anyone else who had this done. Thank you so much.
My surgery was thru the abdominal wallt with 22 staples from belly down
After this procedure I had my vaginal staples back up for prolapse
Rectal prolapse was pulled thru back and staples to back wall inside
Was not done thru anus
I had rectal prolapse surgery April 8th, doing better
I really had no choice as rectum was out could not sir, walk for length of time. Colon rectal surgeon,did my
Surgery incision abdomen where he pulled my
Rectum back in place stapled to the back wall.
Had virginal prolapse at some time by different surgeon.
Recovery was slow but progress yeah
August 1st having sling surgery.
Going to pt for pelvic floor exercises.
Thank you Ellen you have been very helpful. May I ask your age? I am 71 and hope I’m not too old for everything to turn out OK. I’m very fearful of surgery and hospitals.
How old are you?
Yes my surgery was well worth it. I was on bed rest as not being able to do anything and if I
stood it was painful as rectum came out more when standing, as well painful.
Spent week in t he hospital also had two surgeries.
Doing better will have sling surgery for my bladder August 1st, 2022

If this is to improve your health by all means have it done. I did have al ot of support from
my caring family and friends. With out my support system not sure how I would have
survived. Tracy and Andy would make meals for me so all i had to do was heat in microwave
Scott would pick me up costco chicken so I could nibble on this bird.
