RESUMEN

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) +anal sphincter plasty for complete rectal prolapse.Methods:From Jan 1, 2018 to Dec 31, 2022, 45 patients with complete rectal prolapse diagnosed in Beijing Erlong Road Hospital received laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy +anal sphincter plasty were included in this study.Result:There was no mortality rate associated with LVMR in this study cohort. The follow-up period was 8-76 months, with a median follow-up period of 59 months. There were 2 cases of recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 4%. Patients with concomitant fecal incontinence symptoms had a preoperative Jorge Wexner fecal incontinence score of 13.8±2.0, and postoperative Jorge Wexner fecal incontinence scores of 7.5±1.5, 5.3±1.3, 4.3±1.1, 2.8±1.0, and 1.8±0.5 at 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months, respectively, all P<0.001. Patients with concomitant constipation had a preoperative Wexner constipation score of 15.7 ± 1.5, and a postoperative Wexner constipation score of 9.0±1.8, 6.8±1.5, 5.2±1.4, 4.1±0.7, 2.0±0.0 at 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months, respectively, all P<0.001. Conclusions:LVMR +anal Sphincter plasty is safe and effective for the treatment of complete rectal prolapse, and there are few complications related to biological patches. Anal sphincter plasty can effectively improve anal function.
