Delorme operation for rectal prolapse
View through CrossRef
Abstract
A consecutive series of 49 elderly patients of mean age 73 years with full-thickness rectal prolapse underwent the Delorme operation between 1986 and 1990. A standard technique was used, or supervised, by one surgeon. In this prospective series, 43 patients were reviewed clinically. The Delorme operation abolished rectal prolapse in 32 patients. Half of the 40 with faecal incontinence were rendered continent. Failure was related to previous anorectal surgery and/or psychiatric illness. Of the 11 patients in whom the first procedure failed, four were improved by a second Delorme operation. The Delorme operation is a suitable procedure for elderly and/or medically unfit patients with rectal prolapse. Good results have also been demonstrated for younger patients, suggesting that the operation may have wider application.
