What is Rectal Prolapse?
Rectal prolapse occurs when the last part of the intestine weakens and slips out through the anus. It begins as an internal intussusception but may progress to a full-thickness prolapse with concentric rings. Apart from social embarrassment, untreated prolapse causes infections, ulcers, constipation and even incontinence. Early assessment ensures we choose the least invasive, most durable treatment plan.
Partial (Mucosal) Prolapse
Only the inner mucosal lining protrudes (<2 cm). Patients complain of constipation, incomplete evacuation or mucus discharge.
Full Thickness Prolapse
The entire rectal wall with blood vessels collapses outside (3–5 cm). It produces concentric folds, pain, bleeding and faecal leakage.
Common Symptoms
- Lump protruding through the anus during bowel movement, coughing or walking
- Difficulty in manual reduction or prolapse becoming permanent
- Mucous discharge, bleeding or foul odour from irritated mucosa
- Severe constipation or feeling of incomplete evacuation
- Incontinence or inability to control gas/stools due to sphincter fatigue
Why Does it Occur?
- Advancing age and weak pelvic floor muscles
- Multiple pregnancies or difficult deliveries
- Chronic constipation, prolonged straining or laxative abuse
- Neurological disorders such as spinal cord lesions or multiple sclerosis
- Chronic cough, COPD or activities that raise abdominal pressure
Treatment Options at Habilite Clinics
STARR Procedure (Stapled Trans Anal Rectal Resection)
Performed through the anal canal with specialised staplers, ideal for internal prolapse and obstructed defecation. No abdominal incisions, same-day mobility and rapid pain-free recovery.
Delorme / Altemeier Procedures
Perineal approaches (mucosal sleeve resection or perineal proctosigmoidectomy) recommended for elderly or high-risk patients unfit for general anaesthesia. Minimal pain and short stay.
Laparoscopic / Robotic Rectopexy
Gold-standard for full thickness prolapse. The rectum is mobilised, lifted and fixed to the sacrum with sutures or mesh via 3 tiny incisions for excellent functional outcomes and <2% recurrence.
Rectopexy with Sigmoid Resection
Recommended when severe constipation accompanies prolapse. Removing redundant bowel improves transit while the rectum is secured to prevent relapse.
Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Tiny incisions & almost invisible scars
- Low blood loss & pain

FAQs on Rectal Prolapse Surgery
Can rectal prolapse be managed without surgery?+
Dietary changes, pelvic floor therapy, and treating constipation may slow early prolapse, but most patients eventually need surgery for lasting relief.
Which surgery is best for rectal prolapse?+
Procedure selection depends on age, fitness, bowel habits, and prolapse length. Options include STARR, Delorme, Altemeier, laparoscopic or robotic rectopexy with mesh.
How long is the hospital stay?+
Minimally invasive rectal prolapse procedures typically require a 24–36 hour stay with early mobilisation and home-based recovery protocols.
Is rectal prolapse surgery covered by insurance?+
Yes. The Habilite Clinics insurance desk assists with cashless approvals, reimbursement files, and optional zero-interest EMIs.
Will rectal prolapse recur after surgery?+
Recurrence is rare when the right technique is chosen and mesh-supported laparoscopic or robotic rectopexy is performed by an experienced surgeon.
What is recovery like?+
Patients walk within 24 hours, resume desk work in 7–10 days, and follow a customised diet plus pelvic floor rehabilitation supervised by our care team.
Can medicines cure rectal prolapse?+
Medicines cannot reverse rectal prolapse. However, stool softeners, diet changes and pelvic floor therapy may slow progression till you are ready for surgery.
Is surgery always necessary?+
Mild mucosal prolapse may be observed with lifestyle changes, but full thickness prolapse, bleeding, incontinence or recurrent infections are definite indications for surgery.
Which technique prevents recurrence best?+
For fit adults, laparoscopic or robotic rectopexy with mesh support offers the best long-term durability. STARR and perineal procedures are chosen for tailored scenarios.
When can I resume work?+
Desk work generally resumes in 7–10 days, light exercise in 2 weeks and heavy lifting after 4–6 weeks depending on healing.
Do you treat female patients separately?+
Yes, female care coordinators assist during counselling, consent and follow-up to maintain privacy and address pelvic floor concerns sensitively.
