“…In full-thickness RP the rectum must be fixed to the presacral fascia. In adults, a historical cure rate of at least 90% has been reported for posterosagittal rectopexy, Delorme operation and Ekehorn’s rectosacropexy [ 2 ]. However, such operations require an extensive open mobilization.…”

“…Rectal prolapse (RP) can be classified into a pediatric type which usually presents with mucosal prolapse only and an adult type showing full-thickness protrusion [ 1 , 2 ]. It may be graded as minimal when the rectal mucosa is visible only with Valsalva maneuver, moderate when the prolapse is less than 5 mm without Valsalva maneuver and evident when the prolapse exceeds 5 mm without Valsalva maneuver [ 3 ].…”

HighlightsLaparoscopic repair of intermediate anorectal malformation (ARM) lead to full-thickness rectal prolapse (RP) in a boy.As conservative treatment modalities failed, the parents opted for surgical treatment at the patient’s age of 4 years.Intractable RP of 2 cm with ulcerations was successfully treated by Well’s laparoscopic posterior mesh-rectopexy.The mid-term outcome was favorable with no prolapse recurrence.Well’s procedure represents a feasible treatment option for RP secondary to ARM repair in children.

PurposeLaparoscopic rectopexy has become one of the most advocated treatments for full-thickness rectal prolapse, offering good functional results compared with open surgery and resulting in less postoperative pain and faster convalescence. However, laparoscopic rectopexy can be technically demanding. Once having mastered dexterity, with robotic assistance, laparoscopic rectopexy can be performed faster. Moreover, it shortens the learning curve in simple laparoscopic tasks. This may lead to faster and safer laparoscopic surgery. Robot-assisted rectopexy has been proven safe and feasible; however, until now, no study has been performed comparing costs and time consumption in conventional laparoscopic rectopexy vs. robot-assisted rectopexy.MethodsOur first 14 cases of robot-assisted laparoscopic rectopexy were reviewed and compared with 19 patients who underwent conventional laparoscopic rectopexy in the same period.ResultsRobot-assisted laparoscopic rectopexy did not show more complications. However, the average operating time was 39 minutes longer, and costs were -57.29 (or: $745.09) higher.ConclusionRobot-assisted laparoscopic rectopexy is a safe and feasible procedure but results in increased time and higher costs than conventional laparoscopy.
