Laparoscopic Rectopexy – Secure & Lasting Relief from Rectal Prolapse
Not All Surgeries Need Big Cuts — And You Don’t Need a Long Recovery
Putting Things Back in Place — and Keeping Them There
Rectal prolapse is a condition where the rectum slips out of its normal position, sometimes even protruding outside the body. It can cause discomfort, leakage, bleeding, and embarrassment — affecting both health and quality of life.
With laparoscopic rectopexy, we can repair this condition using small keyhole cuts, restoring normal anatomy and giving you back comfort, control, and confidence.
What is Laparoscopic Rectopexy?
Rectopexy is a surgical procedure where the rectum is gently lifted back into its proper position and secured to the pelvic wall to prevent it from slipping again.
The laparoscopic approach uses a few small incisions in the abdomen, meaning:
Less post-operative pain
Faster recovery
Shorter hospital stay
Minimal scarring
When is Rectopexy Recommended?
Full-thickness rectal prolapse
Recurrent prolapse despite other treatments
Severe symptoms affecting daily life
Chronic constipation or incontinence linked to prolapse

What Patients Usually Ask Us
Will my prolapse come back after rectopexy?

Pain is minimal compared to open surgery and is well-managed with medication.
