This article has been temporarily withdrawn, with the agreement of all authors and the journal editor, whilst an investigated is being carried out by the North Bristol NHS Trust and the General Medical Council following some concerns raised.

Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy in male patients with internal or external rectal prolapse.

Aim: Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) has been used to treat rectal prolapse, obstructed defaecation (OD), faecal incontinence (FI) and multicompartment pelvic floor dysfunction. Its value in treating men has been questioned. The aim of the present study was to assess the results in male patients.

How to deal with complications after laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy: lessons learnt from a tertiary referral centre.

Aim: Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) is increasingly recognized as having utility in rectal prolapse, obstructive defaecation syndrome (ODS), faecal incontinence (FI) and multicompartment pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). This study aimed to highlight gaps in service provision and areas for improvement by examining a cohort of patients with complications referred to a tertiary centre.

Method: Examination was carried out of a password-protected electronic database of all LVMRs operated on in one institution.
