Background: In recent years, many laparoscopic procedures have been reported for the treatment of rectal prolapse, and the Wells method is safe and has relatively good results for rectal prolapse, which is common in the elderly. In this report, we have developed a simpler method to perform the Wells method.
Methods: In our procedures, easy modified Wells method is performed laparoscopically, but the use of a bilayer mesh makes it easier to perform without the need to suture the retroperitoneum.
