Abstract

Between 1981 and 1988 inclusive, 22 patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse presenting to two surgeons in this hospital were treated using the Délorme operation. There was no mortality and morbidity was minimal. Twenty-one patients (95.5%) were cured of prolapse and 19 patients (86.4%) had normal anal sphincter function after the operation.
