Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of discontinuous suture ligation and injection in the treatment of rectal mucosal prolapse.
METHODS: Thirty-two patients with rectal mucosal prolapse were treated by discontinuous suture ligation from January 2009 to December 2011. The incidence of preoperative and postoperative symptoms was compared. Symptomatic relief was also scored and compared.
RESULTS: The average operative time was 52 min. The average visual analogue scale pain score was 3.5 points in the first 3 dafter operation. The mean follow-up period was 11 mo after surgery, and no recurrence or anal incontinence occurred. Postoperatively, the incidence of symptoms declined significantly, the obstructive defecation scored decreased by 84%, and the scores for all the other symptoms were reduced by > 70% (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Discontinuous suture ligation and injection is a simple, less invasive, and less painful treatment for rectal mucosal prolapse with fewer complications and more satisfactory short-term effect.
