Aim: To compare results of rectosacropexy and posterior-loop rectopexy in rectal prolapse management.

Material And Methods: Study included 122 patients operated for rectal prolapse for the period January 2007 to August 2014. Patients' age ranged from 19 to 85 years (mean 47.3±16.1). Main group consisted of 60 (49.2%) patients who underwent rectosacropexy (D'Hoore's procedure). Control group included 62 (50.8%) patients in whom posterior-loop rectopexy was applied (Wells's procedure).

Results: Long-term results were followed-up in 94 (77.0%) patients including 48 and 46 from main and control group respectively. Recurrent prolaple incidence after rectosacropexy and posterior-loop rectopexy was 2% and 8.7% respectively. Multivariant analysis statistically confirmed that postoperative impaired colon motility was independent risk factor of recurrence. Recurrent disease is observed 5.7 times more often in this case. Rectosacropexy does not significantly impair colon motility because of ileus occurs in 8.3% of operated patients. Impovement of anal continence does not depend on rectopexy method and occurs in all patients with degree 1-2 of anal sphincter failure.

Conclusion: Rectosacropexy may be preferred in rectal prolapse. However, further highly significant studies are necessary to optimize rectal prolapse management.

Introduction: Abdominal and perineal repairs for rectal prolapse are offered to patients based on surgeon assessment of risk. Interpretations of risk can vary. We sought to understand how the preoperative Risk Analysis Index (RAI) score, a validated measure of frailty, aligned with our existing decision-making process for rectal prolapse repair.

Magnetic resonance (MR) defecography, including both static and dynamic phases, is frequently requested by gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons for planning the treatment of obstructive defecation syndrome and pelvic organ prolapse. However, reports often lack key information needed to guide treatment strategies, making management challenging and, at times, controversial. It has been hypothesized that using structured radiology reports could reduce missing information.

Anastomotic leakage is a well-understood major complication of colorectal surgery and carries significant implications for patient morbidity and mortality. However, an infected collection fistulating through an otherwise healthy colorectal anastomosis can mimic an anastomotic leak and warrants different management to a primary anastomotic leak. Such a presentation is undocumented in the current literature.

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).
