If you have a rectal prolapse that’s causing symptoms, your doctor may recommend you one of the following procedure.
Rectopexy procedure. Rectopexy secures the rectum in its anatomically correct position.
Surgery to remove the rectum.
An operation to remove the rectum may be an option if you have severe signs and symptoms that haven’t been helped by other treatments. The surgeon may connect the colon to an opening in the abdomen for waste to leave the body (colostomy). If you have a colostomy, a pouch or bag is then attached to your abdomen to collect waste.
