Laparoscopic Resection Rectopexy with Transanal Specimen Extraction for Complete Rectal Prolapse: Retrospective Cohort Study of Functional Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Background: Complete rectal prolapse (RP) is a debilitating pelvic floor disorder often accompanied by obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), fecal incontinence, and LARS-like bowel dysfunction. Laparoscopic resection rectopexy (LRR) is an established abdominal approach; however, functional outcomes after LRR with transanal specimen extraction (LRR-TSE) are incompletely defined. Aim: To evaluate short- and long-term functional outcomes-ODS, Wexner incontinence score (WIS), and LARS-in patients undergoing LRR-TSE. Methods: This single-center cohort included 53 consecutive patients who underwent LRR-TSE between January 2013 and December 2019. Variables were prospectively recorded and analyzed retrospectively. ODS, WIS, and LARS scores were assessed preoperatively and at 3
