Suture rectopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse, a condition where the rectum protrudes from the anus. During the procedure, the rectum is repositioned and secured in place using sutures. This helps restore the normal anatomy of the rectum and prevents further prolapse. Suture rectopexy is a less invasive alternative to other surgical methods and is associated with shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times. However, there is a risk of recurrence, and the procedure may not be suitable for all patients, especially those with complex or severe prolapse cases.
