Altemeier for Rectal Prolapse: A Case Report
Résumé
Rectal prolapse presents a challenging clinical scenario, particularly in cases of long-segment prolapse. This report discusses a case of a 56-year-old male with a 10 cm long segment rectal prolapse and fecal incontinence. Despite failed manual reduction, surgical intervention via the Altemeier procedure was successful, leading to a smooth recovery without complications during the one-month follow-up. The case underscores the efficacy of the Altemeier technique in managing rectal prolapse, particularly for long-segment cases, with its low complication and recurrence rates.
