Enterocele Induced Rectal Prolapse: A Novel Form of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presents a case of a novel form of pelvic organ prolapse, called enterocele-induced rectal prolapse. Rectal prolapse is the full thickness protrusion of the rectum through the anus. Surgical interventions for rectal prolapse include perineal and abdominal approaches, but recurrence rates can be high. The video focuses on two cases treated with sacrocopalpexy, a procedure that involves reinforcing the posterior cul-de-sac and repairing the rectum. The patients experienced resolution of their symptoms postoperatively. The video recommends considering enterocele-induced rectal prolapse as a potential cause of recurrent prolapse and suggests using MRI and consulting with colorectal colleagues for preoperative planning.
