INCISION:
A single midline incision was made in the perineum.
PROCEDURE:

The rectal mucosa was resected leaving a cuff of 1cm of rectal wall remaining.
The rectal cuff was then sutured to the sacral promontory using a non-absorbable suture and the rectal prolapse was corrected.
Haemostasis was ensured.
FINDINGS:
CLOSURE:
The skin incision was closed in layers using absorbable suture.
