Colorectal Surgery
Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum telescopes out through the anus. Dr. Adarsh, a leading surgeon in Bangalore, performs laparoscopic rectopexy (mesh or suture) to fix the rectum in its anatomical position, restoring normal bowel function and continence. The laparoscopic approach offers faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
About Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse surgery restores the rectum to its normal position and prevents further prolapse. Dr. Adarsh performs laparoscopic rectopexy (mesh or suture fixation of the rectum to the sacrum) as the preferred approach for full-thickness rectal prolapse. The choice between ventral mesh rectopexy and suture rectopexy depends on patient factors.
