Background: The study was undertaken to validate the efficacy of Delorme's procedure as the treatment modality of choice for full-thickness rectal prolapse. Materials and Methods: In this study, results of Delorme's procedure for full-thickness rectal prolapse were assessed retrospectively. 14 patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse who were operated on with Delorme's procedure between January 2010 and October 2013 in the department of Colorectal surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University were included in the study. Results: There were 8 males with mean age of 32.62 years (range 15-70) and 6 females with mean age of 26 years (range 12-70 ).The mean operative time was 65±4.5 minutes (range 60-90); there was no mortality and blood loss was minimal. Mean hospital stay was 3.5 days (2-6 days). Outcomes of the procedure were satisfactory and no patient reported recurrence of the disease in the follow up period.Delorme's procedure, especially in younger patients, is a relatively safe and effective treatment and should not be restricted to older frail patients. This procedure may not be suitable for recurrent cases Delorme's procedure, especially in younger patients, is a relatively safe and effective treatment and should not be restricted to older frail patients. This procedure may not be suitable for recurrent cases. Conclusion: Delorme's operation is a safe and effective treatment for complete rectal prolapse in patients of all age groups.

Delorme's Procedure

Introduction. The objective of this study was to determine the recurrence rate and associated risk factors of full-thickness rectal prolapse in the long term after Delorme’s procedure.Patients and Methods. The study involved adult patients with rectal prolapse treated with Delorme’s surgery between 2000 and 2012 and followed up prospectively in an outpatient unit. We assessed epidemiological data, Wexner constipation and incontinence score, recurrence patterns, and risk factors. Data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate studies and follow-up was performed according to Kaplan-Meier technique. The primary outcome was recurrence.Results. A total of 42 patients, where 71.4% (n=30) were women, with a median age of 76 years (IQR 66 to 86), underwent Delorme’s surgery. The median follow-up was 85 months (IQR 28 to 132). There was no mortality, and morbidity was 9.5%. Recurrence occurred in five patients (12%) within 14 months after surgery. Actuarial recurrence at five years was 9.9%. According to the univariate analysis, constipation and concomitant pelvic floor repair were the only factors found to be associated with recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed no statistically significant differences among variables studied. Kaplan-Meier estimate revealed that constipation was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (log-rank test,p=0.006).Conclusions. Delorme’s procedure is a safe technique with an actuarial recurrence at five years of 9.9%. The outcomes obtained in this study support the performance of concomitant postanal repair and levatorplasty to reduce recurrences. Also, severe constipation is associated with a higher recurrence rate.

Delorme's Procedure

Background: There are versatile operative techniques for treating complete rectal prolapse. Every procedure has some advantages and disadvantages. Delorme’s procedure and abdominal rectopexy (Well’s procedure) have gained more popularity. But to determine which approach is better, it is needed to evaluate the functional outcome of both procedures. Objective: To compare the outcome of Delorme’s procedure and abdominal rectopexy to treat complete rectal prolapse. Methodology: A randomized control trial was conducted in 25 patients with complete rectal prolapse in the department of Surgery, RMCH. They were divided into two groups by randomization. Fifteen patients included in Group-I underwent Delorme’s procedure, and ten patients included in group-II underwent abdominal rectopexy (Well’s procedure). The outcome of both procedures was compared postoperatively. Results: In group-1, we have found uneventful outcomes of 10 (66.66%) patients, and hemorrhage, minor incontinence, and retention of urine were found in 2(13.3%), 1(6.66), and 4(26.66%) patients, respectively. In group-2 patients, 5(50%) patients recovered uneventfully, whereas hemorrhage, surgical site infection, retention of urine, bladder dysfunction, and constipation were found in 2(20%), 1(10%), 1(10%), 1(10%) and 2(20%) patients respectively. The mean operation time in group-I was 92.86 min and in Group 2 was 124.00 min with a p-value of 0.001. The average post-operative hospital stay after Delorme’s procedure was <4 days in 4 patients and 4-6 days in the rest 11 patients. But the hospital stay is a little lengthier in the case of abdominal rectopexy (Well’s procedure), where seven patients were discharged within 4-6 days, and three patients were discharged after the 5th day of operation. In group I, expenditure was <7000 taka in 10 (66.66%) patients, whereas in group-2 , the cost was 10000-15000 in 7(70%) patients with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: We can conclude that Delorme’s procedure is comparatively safer and cost-effective than Well’s procedure, considering different vital parameters. TAJ 2021; 34: No-1: 40-46

Background: Complete rectal prolapse is a very distressing condition. In adults, the only potentially curative treatment for complete rectal prolapse is surgery either by transabdominal or perinea! approaches. Till date abdominal rectopexy is considered as the standard surgical treatment for complete rectal prolapse, which can be done laparoscopically or by open procedure. Objective: The purpose of the study was to observe the outcome of Laparoscopic rectopexy in the treatment of complete rectal prolapse by subjective assessment and to compare the result with that of conventional open abdominal rectopexy. Methodology: This randomized clinical trial was carried out in the Department of Surgery at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, from July 2012 to June 2014 for a period of twenty four (24) months. Patients who presented with complete rectal prolapse with age ranging from 25 to 70 years irrespective of gender were selected as study population. Patients were randomized by lottery method into two groups as group I who underwent laparoscopic rectopexy (LR) and group II who underwent open rectopexy (OR). Result: A total number of 50 patients were recruited in this study of which 25 patients were. in group I and 25 patients were in group II. The mean (s.d.) age was 49.40 (13.22) years and 46.48(13.27) years in group I and group II respectively (p>0.05). The mean (s.d.) operative time was 115(19) minutes in group I and 75(12) minutes in group II (p<0.05). In this study 1(4.0%) patient and 6 (24.0%) patients had abdominal wound infection in group I and in group II respectively (p>0.05). Mean (s.d.) ambulation time was 1.96 (0.67) days in group I and 3.92(1.15) days in groups II (p<0.05). Postoperative hospital stay mean (s.d.) was 3.08(1.18) days in group I and 8.16(3.57) days in group II (p<0.05). Overall patients satisfaction were 92% and 76% in group I and group II respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion: Laparoscopic rectopexy is a better option than conventional open abdominal rectopexy for the treatment of complete rectal prolapse. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2015) Vol. 19 (1) : 3-7
