Abstract
Validated guidelines for the surgical
and non-surgical treatment of rectal
prolapse (RP) do not exist. The aim of
this international questionnaire survey
was to provide an overview of the
evaluation, follow-up and treatment
of patients with an internal or external
RP.
The treatment of patients with a RP
differs between surgeons, countries
and regions. Guidelines for the treatment
of patients with this disorder
are lacking. Therefore, prospective
comparative studies are warranted
that may result in applicable guidelines
worldwide.
