The aim of this study was to examine the depth of radiofrequency ablation on the rectum. Many elderly people have a rectal mucosal prolapse. The procedure combining radiofrequency ablation and plication of the rectal mucosa was reported as an effective means of treatment. However, no pathologic review of the technique has been reported thus far. This study was conducted from January 2012 to August 2013 at the authors' institution. Thirty rectal specimens obtained from 15 patients who underwent stapled transanal rectal resection were coagulated by radiofrequency ablation using TissueLink at power settings of 30 or 50 W and examined histologically. Mucosal epithelia of all specimens was desquamated after radiofrequency ablation. The distance from the mucosal surface to the lamina muscularis mucosae was significantly shorter in ablated specimens than that of normal mucosa and significantly shorter in proportion to coagulation power settings. This study demonstrated that at least mucosal epithelia disappeared histologically after radiofrequency ablation.

Surgical management of imperforate anus and rectal mucosal prolapse has evolved significantly over the last two decades. The procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids (PPH) is now widely used primarily for rectal mucosal prolapse and internal hemorrhoids. We describe the use of PPH in the management of symptomatic rectal mucosal prolapse in a 39-year-old man with a history of a high imperforate anus and pelvic floor reconstruction. At 4-year follow up, the prolapse has not recurred and the preoperative symptoms have resolved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of a PPH in the management of rectal mucosal prolapse in a patient with these characteristics.
