Surgical treatment of rectal prolapse

Abstract

Currently, two classifications of lower intestinal tube prolapses have been adopted: the French classification based on the different involvement of the intestinal tube layers in the prolapse, and the German classification based on the topography of the prolapsed parts along the length of the intestinal tube. The first distinguishes 1) prolapsus mucosae recti, 2) prolapsus recti completus, and 3) prolapsus recti invaginati; the second distinguishes 1) prolapsus ani, 2) prolapsus ani et recti, 3) prolapsus recti, and 4) prolapsus recti invaginati.
