“…By time, the method was named Wells operation when Ivalon sponge was used after modification by various methods, and was named Notoras operation when polytetrafluoroethylene or polypropylene was used. Recurrence rates for rectopexy interventions applied abdominally using synthetic materials are generally reported under 5% [12]. While Morgan reported 2.6% mortality and 3.2% morbidity in his series of 150 cases, Hawley and Penfold report 4% recurrence in their series of 101 cases, with no cases of mortality [13].…”

BackgroundRectal prolapse (RP) is a rare condition characterized by rectums protrusion through the anus with all of its layers. RP is a condition deteriorating the quality of life. Although more than 100 surgical procedures were described so far for the treatment of RP, the ideal treatment method still remains unclear. In this study, demographical data and clinical results of 13 patients who were treated at our clinic for RP for a period of 3 years were retrospectively studied, with the aim of comparing with the results of other repair methods mentioned in the literature.MethodsTotal of 13 patients admitted to the general surgery unit and the emergency units between January 2008 and December 2010 were included in the study. All of the cases were treated by modified Notoras technique using various synthetic materials.ResultsOf the patients, 8 were male, and 5 were female. Average age was 45.6 years (range: 23 - 79 years), and the average hospitalization time was 11.3 days (range: 3 - 19 days), with the symptom time being an average of 12 years (range: 1 - 30 years). All patients having complaints described mass prolapsing from the anal canal during defecation, rectal pain, and constipation. Six of our patients also had complaints of rectal bleeding. Average follow-up time was 24 months. No recurrence and mortality were monitored in patients who were followed.ConclusionsThe main purposes in the surgical treatment of RP were to control the prolapse, and to achieve continence and remedy constipation. We believe that the modified Notoras technique made using synthetic materials the most suitable one compared to other rectopexy methods in the treatment of RP because it is safe and easily applicable.KeywordsRectal prolapse; Rectopexy; Modified Notoras technique

“…Apesar de ser uma afecção conhecida há vários séculos, ainda existem controvérsias sobre o tratamento. O fato é demonstrado pelas várias opções terapêuticas existentes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . A escolha do procedimento mais adequado continua sendo um problema para o cirurgião, que acaba utilizando a técnica mais familiar, porém não a melhor para as condições do paciente.…”
