Long-term outcome of laparoscopic ventral rectopexy for total rectal prolapse

Abstract: Laparoscopic ventral rectopexy is an effective technique for the correction of rectal prolapse and appears to avoid severe postoperative constipation. The ventral position of the prosthesis may explain the beneficial effect on symptoms of obstructed defaecation.

“…Because this technique limits the dissection and the subsequent risk of autonomic nerve damage, the functional outcome is improved with minimal long term morbidity and low rates of recurrence and the short term follow up results are very convincing [2,3].…”

“…It has also been shown that procedures with preservation of the lateral ligaments and limited lateral and posterior rectal dissection, including the ''old'' Orr-Loygue operation, are associated with good functional outcomes, minimizing postoperative constipation and not increasing recurrence, both in overt rectal prolapse and in rectal intussusception [6]. Since laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) was introduced by D'Hoore et al in 2004 [7], several studies have been published confirming positive results in terms of constipation and fecal incontinence for both full rectal prolapse and rectoanal intussusception [5,8,9]. A limited rectal mobilization is performed only unilaterally reducing the risk of inferior hypogastric nerve injury and therefore leading to a lower incidence of postoperative constipation [7,9].…”

A limited rectal mobilization is performed only unilaterally reducing the risk of inferior hypogastric nerve injury and therefore leading to a lower incidence of postoperative constipation [7,9]. Recently, we described a modification of LVR involving mesh fixation to the sacral hollow instead of the sacral promontory with a favorably low risk of postoperative constipation and excellent functional results [10].…”

“…A classical posterior rectopexy, shown to denervate the autonomic supply of the rectum [1, 2], worsens constipation for 50% of patients and has been abandoned [3]. The novel nervesparing laparoscopic anterior or ventral rectopexy, which improves constipation in cased of external prolapse [4], may alter the way internal rectal prolapse is managed.Your recent publication describing 17 patients who underwent a laparoscopic ventral rectopexy for OD syndrome causes us concerns [5]. The indication for surgery is not made clear.…”
