Brief summary

Curvilinear incision in the postanal space, through the intersphincteric plane, insertion of Proctoscope of TEM technique and dissection till sacral promontory, insertion of mesh between the rectum and sacrum, post anal repair then anal cerclage width absorbable suture.

Detailed description

Perineal Rectopexy is performed by an incision in the intersphincteric space followed by dissection till the sacral promontory then Proctoscope is inserted to complete the dissection .Mesh is inserted and fixed to the sacrum with laparoscopic tacker ( or can be left unfixed) then postanal repair is conducted in two layers ( levatorplasty then sphincteroplasty) and finally Ana cerclage is done with polyglactin 0 sutures
