Laparoscopic Rectopexy: A Permanent Solution for Rectal Prolapse
Are you struggling with rectal prolapse and looking for a lasting solution? Rectal prolapse can be uncomfortable, affect your daily life, and in some cases, lead to complications if left untreated. Fortunately, Laparoscopic Rectopexy offers a safe and effective treatment that restores normal function with minimal recovery time. At Kaizen Gastro Care, Dr. Samrat Jankar specializes in advanced laparoscopic procedures, providing patients in Pune with expert care and permanent relief.
Understanding Rectal Prolapse:
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the last part of the large intestine, slips out of its normal position and sometimes protrudes through the anus. This condition can be distressing, causing discomfort and affecting bowel habits.
Common causes and risk factors include:
- Weak pelvic muscles
- Chronic constipation or straining during bowel movements
- Age-related connective tissue weakness
- Previous surgeries or injuries in the pelvic area
Symptoms may include a visible bulge, difficulty controlling bowel movements, bleeding, or a sensation of fullness in the rectum. Timely treatment is important to prevent worsening of the condition and improve quality of life.
Traditional Treatment vs Laparoscopic Approach:
Traditionally, rectal prolapse has been treated with open rectopexy surgery. While effective, open surgery requires a larger incision, longer hospital stay, and longer recovery period.
In contrast, Laparoscopic Rectopexy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and specialized instruments. Patients experience less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications. This is why the laparoscopic approach is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for treating rectal prolapse.
What is Laparoscopic Rectopexy?
Laparoscopic Rectopexy is a surgical procedure that repositions the rectum and secures it in its proper place using sutures or mesh reinforcement. The steps are simple to understand:
- Mobilizing the rectum – freeing it from surrounding tissues to allow proper
- Fixing it in place – the rectum is attached securely to the pelvic wall to prevent
- Reinforcing the support – sometimes mesh is used to strengthen the area and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Patients with moderate to severe prolapse, or those experiencing recurrence after previous treatments, are ideal candidates for this procedure.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Rectopexy:
Choosing Laparoscopic Rectopexy in Pune at Kaizen Gastro Care offers several advantages:
- Permanent correction of rectal prolapse
- Minimally invasive procedure with smaller incisions and less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery and return to daily life
- Lower risk of complications or recurrence compared to traditional surgery
With Dr. Samrat Jankar’s expertise, patients can expect a safe procedure with long-term results.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery?
Before surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation including imaging and routine tests. During the procedure, general anesthesia is administered, and the laparoscopic technique is used to reposition and secure the rectum.
Recovery is generally quicker than open surgery, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. Postoperative care includes diet management, gradual physical activity, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
Choosing the Right Surgeon and Hospital:
Expertise is crucial for successful laparoscopic procedures. Dr. Samrat Jankar at Kaizen Gastro Care has extensive experience in treating rectal prolapse with minimally invasive techniques.
Before surgery, patients should ask:
- How many laparoscopic rectopexy procedures has the surgeon performed?
- What is the expected recovery time and outcome?
- Are there any risks or complications to be aware of?
Specialized hospitals like Kaizen Gastro Care ensure advanced care, skilled surgeons, and a patient-focused approach for the best results.
