Mr Kumar offers both minimally invasive and open surgical repair, tailored to the patient’s age, fitness, severity of prolapse and any associated bowel symptoms such as constipation or incontinence.
A lump or bulge protruding from the anus, initially only on straining, later permanently present.
A mucous or blood-stained discharge from the prolapsed bowel lining.
Difficulty controlling wind or stool due to stretching of the sphincter mechanism.
A persistent feeling that the bowel has not emptied fully after defaecation.
Aching or dragging discomfort in the perineum, particularly after prolonged standing.
Mr Kumar will perform a full anorectal assessment. You may be asked to strain to demonstrate the full extent of the prolapse.
To assess the mucosa and exclude any co-existing pathology.
Anorectal manometry or defaecating proctogram may be arranged to evaluate sphincter function and bowel motility prior to surgery.
The rectum is mobilised and fixed to the sacrum (with or without mesh) using either robotic or laparoscopic surgery. Associated with excellent long-term results for full-thickness prolapse, smaller scars and rapid recovery.
Delorme’s or Altemeier’s procedures are performed through the perineum and are suitable for higher-risk or elderly patients who cannot tolerate abdominal surgery.
Rectal prolapse surgery requires detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy and bowel function. Mr Kumar’s specialist colorectal training ensures the most appropriate operation is selected to achieve lasting cure while optimising bowel function and continence.
