Mucosal prolapse syndrome comprises a variety of clinical and histopathological entities, with mucosal prolapse as the underlying pathogenic mechanism. Due to variable clinical, endoscopic and histopathological presentation and rareness of symptomatic mucosal prolapse, misdiagnosis resulting in delayed or inappropriate treatment is frequent. This report describes a patient initially diagnosed with a colorectal polyposis syndrome consisting of multiple rectal hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps. But after careful review of medical history and histopathology, the patient was found to have a rare variant of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome presenting as rectal polyposis. The recognition of rectal polyposis as a manifestation of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome/mucosal prolapse syndrome will improve diagnosis and treatment and prevent inappropriate management of this condition.

To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and long-term efficacy of the Jinling procedure for management of refractory mixed constipation. We prospectively collected clinical data of patients with refractory mixed constipation treated by the Jinling procedure in the Institute of General Surgery of our hospital from January 2007 to August 2023. Perioperative complications, effectiveness within 1 year of surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, gastrointestinal quality of life index, frequency of spontaneous defecation, rate of satisfactory defecation, body composition, serological indicators, defecography, anorectal manometry) and 10 years after surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, patient assessment of constipation symptom, SF-36 quality of life score, and questionnaire concerning satisfaction with defecation).

Background: Rectal prolapse (RP) predominantly affects women over the age of 50 and presents as mucosal, internal, or full thickness prolapse. Strangulated rectal prolapse requires immediate medical intervention, and surgical treatment options include both abdominal and perineal approaches. We aim to present a case series of perineal rectosigmoidectomy performed urgently due to strangulation and argue that Altemeier's procedure is the preferred method for treating strangulated rectal prolapse.

Article Synopsis
- - Rectal mucosal prolapse syndrome (RMPS) often presents with symptoms like rectal bleeding and can be mistaken for malignant rectal tumors (MRT) during endoscopic exams; this study aimed to differentiate between the two and examine RMPS characteristics.
- - A total of 826 patients were analyzed, revealing that RMPS patients were younger, had smaller lesions, and a longer clinical course compared to those with MRT.
- - Five distinct morphological phenotypes of RMPS lesions were identified, with gender differences noted in lesion types; key features like age, lesion size, and clinical duration can help differentiate RMPS from MRT.
