Laparoscopic rectopexy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse, a condition in which the rectum slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. This condition can cause discomfort, fecal incontinence, constipation, and difficulty with bowel movements, significantly affecting quality of life.

During the procedure, surgeons use laparoscopic instruments to reposition the rectum and secure it to the sacrum (lower spine) using sutures or mesh support. This restores normal anatomy and prevents recurrence. The minimally invasive approach offers reduced postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

Preoperative evaluation includes physical examination, imaging studies, and bowel function assessment. After surgery, patients receive guidance on diet, bowel habits, and lifestyle adjustments to support healing and prevent strain.
