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.

The study was undertaken to determine the efficacy and safety profile of Delorme's procedure as the treatment for full-thickness rectal prolapse. In this study, outcome of Delorme's procedure for full-thickness rectal prolapse were assessed retrospectively. All the patients who underwent this surgery (22 patients) from July, 2013 to June, 2015 were included in the study. There were 18 males and 4 females with mean age of 37.4 years (range 12-70). The mean operative time was 92.6 minutes (Range 60-180 minutes). 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 within the follow up period. Delorme's operation is safe and effective treatment for complete rectal prolapse in patients of all age and sex.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jul 2015;10(2): 55-58

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
