Successful surgical treatment of complete rectal prolapse

Abstract
Conclusion A review of results of the treatment of complete rectal prolapse in the years 1940 to 1962 at the University of Iowa Hospitals has been presented. The largest series in current medical literature has also been reviewed. The one common feature of procedures which are followed by a low incidence of recurrence is complete mobilization of the rectum together with a method of maintaining the rectum in its corrected position until fixation through scarring occurs.
