Elite Rectal Prolapse Surgery (LVMR)
Rectal Prolapse is a structural failure where the rectum loses its internal support and protrudes through the anal opening. At Indira Super Speciality Hospital, we specialized in **Laparoscopic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy (LVMR)**—the global gold standard for permanent repair. Our nerve-sparing keyhole approach ensures high success rates (98%+), minimal recurrence, and a rapid return to pelvic health.

Mechanism: Laparoscopic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy (LVMR)
Unlike traditional perineal surgery done from below (which has high recurrence), **LVMR** is performed through three tiny 5-10mm keyhole incisions in the abdomen. We use a biocompatible mesh to anchor the rectum back to the sacral promontory (the base of the spine).
Nerve-Sparing Precision
We isolate and preserve the autonomic nerves responsible for bowel, bladder, and sexual function—a critical step often missed in conventional surgery.
Ventral Suspension
Only the front part of the rectum is mobilized, ensuring the posterior attachments remain intact for maximum stability.
Diagnosis: Mapping the Descent
Misdiagnosis as 'Piles' is common. At Indira, we use **Video Defecography** and MR Defecography to differentiate between Mucosal and Full-Thickness Prolapse before surgery.
Diagnostic Accuracy Protocol
Identifying Rectal Prolapse Symptoms
If you experience a mass protruding through the anus, it is critical to determine the stage of descent.
Manual Reduction
A mass that pokes out during bowel movements and may need to be pushed back.
Incontinence
Loss of control over bowel movements as the sphincter muscles are stretched.
Mucus Discharge
Irritated rectal tissue causing constant discharge and skin irritation.
Incomplete Emptying
The sensation that you cannot fully empty your bowels (Obstructed Defecation).
The Pelvic Restoration Roadmap
Our recovery path focuses on restoring both the structural anatomy and the physiological function of the bowel.
Day 2
Early Activation
Patients are encouraged to walk within 24 hours of laparoscopic surgery to prevent clots.
Day 4
Dietary Phase
Transition to high-fiber soft diets to ensure smooth bowel activation without straining.
Week 3
Soft Tissue Healing
Resume light professional work. Nerve-recovery check and pelvic floor coordination review.
Month 2
Full Restoration
Resume all activities. Pelvic floor tone assessment and long-term motility mapping.

Elite Clinical FAQs: Rectal Prolapse
Can Rectal Prolapse be cured without surgery?
No. Rectal Prolapse is a structural mechanical failure. While pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) can help with mild cases or after surgery, they cannot 'pull' a full-thickness prolapsed rectum back into its permanent internal position. Surgery is the only definitive cure.
Is the mesh used safe?
At Indira, we use high-grade biocompatible mesh (Ventral Mesh) that is specifically designed for pelvic floor restoration. It integrates with your own tissue over time to create a reinforced support system.
Will I have a permanent scar from the surgery?
The laparoscopic approach uses three or four 5mm incisions. These are tiny and usually heal within months to become almost invisible. There are no large abdominal cuts.
Can I fall pregnant after a Rectopexy?
Yes. However, if you are planning future pregnancies, please discuss this with our surgeon. We may choose specific nerve-sparing and mesh-fixation techniques to ensure no interference with future obstetric care.
Will my bowel movements return to normal after surgery?
In 90% of cases, patients see a dramatic improvement in both their incontinence (leaking) and constipation. LVMR effectively 'widens' the internal canal and restores the rectum to its physiological angle.
What is the Tamil name for this condition?
It is often referred to as 'ஆசனவாய் வெளியே தள்ளுதல்' (Aasanavaai veliye thalluthal), which simple means 'the anal opening has pushed out.'
