Why surgery is not recommended for rectal mucosal prolapse

Surgery is not recommended for rectal mucosal prolapse because the patient is a child with a mild condition or a mild rectal mucosal prolapse. Generally speaking, surgery is not recommended for children with early rectal mucosal prolapse because rectal prolapse can generally heal on its own with the growth and development of the child’s organs; while mild rectal mucosal prolapse can also be treated with dietary adjustments, medication, and anal lifting exercises under the guidance of a doctor, which can also give good results and is not recommended for surgery. However, if the patient’s rectal mucosal prolapse is more serious and the symptomatic episodes can not be relieved, it is recommended to directly operate, and the surgical methods include rectal drug injection, rectal suspension and fixation, and transperineal sigmoidectomy, etc. The patients can also be treated with dietary adjustments, anal lifting exercises and other comprehensive treatment methods under the guidance of doctors. Rectal suspension fixation and transperineal sigmoidectomy require dietary abstinence prior to surgery, while rectal drug injection requires a liquid diet early in the morning on the day of surgery. Depending on the individual’s specific condition, patients are advised to follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the treatment plan.
