  2. Rectal prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectal_prolapse

    Rectal mucosal prolapse (mucosal prolapse, anal mucosal prolapse) is a sub-type of rectal prolapse, and refers to abnormal descent of the rectal mucosa through the anus. [21] It is different to an internal intussusception (occult prolapse) or a complete rectal prolapse (external prolapse, procidentia) because these conditions involve the full ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intussusception_(medical...

    Abdominal pain, vomiting, and stool with mucus and blood are present in acute gastroenteritis, but diarrhea is the leading symptom. Rectal prolapse can be differentiated by projecting mucosa that can be felt in continuity with the perianal skin, whereas in intussusception the finger may pass indefinitely into the depth of the sulcus.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_folds_of_rectum

    The transverse folds of rectum (or Houston's valves or the valves of Houston) are semi-lunar transverse folds of the rectal wall that protrude into the rectum, not the anal canal as that lies below the rectum.

    For example, the mucosal changes that occur with external rectal prolapse can be separated from the mucosal changes seen in SRUS. [ 6 ] The excessive pressure caused by straining (i.e. dyssynergic defecation and constipation) may in the long term lead to development of the spectrum of rectal prolapse conditions (mucosal versus full-thickness ...

  6. Ventral rectopexy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_rectopexy

    Recurrence of the prolapse after ventral rectopexy is possible. Recurrence rates are reported as between 1.4 and 9.7% of cases. Recurrence occurs sooner and the overall rate is higher when ventral rectopexy is performed on a prolapse which has already recurred in the past (25% of cases after 5 years).

  7. Prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolapse

    In medicine, prolapse is a condition in which organs fall down or slip out of place. It is used for organs protruding through the vagina, rectum, or for the misalignment of the valves of the heart. A spinal disc herniation is also sometimes called "disc prolapse". Prolapse means "to fall out of place", from the Latin prolabi meaning "to fall out".

  8. Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transanal_hemorrhoidal_de...

    In case of redundant prolapse, the prolapsed mucosal membrane is lifted and sutured (with the last suture minimum 5 mm above the pectinate line [4]), repositioning hemorrhoidal cushions in situ. This is different from a traditional hemorrhoidectomy, which focused on excising the hemorrhoidal bundle.
