PFD Week 2016-Delorme Rectal Prolapse

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the Delorme procedure for the repair of rectal prolapse. Rectal prolapse is when the rectal wall protrudes beyond the anal opening and is more common in women, especially those with pelvic floor issues or chronic constipation. The video describes the step-by-step process of the Delorme procedure, which involves elevating a mucosal flap, dissecting a sleeve of the rectum, placating the muscularis layer, and re-approximating the rectal mucosa. The success of the procedure is confirmed with a rigid proctoscopy. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
