How many centimeters of prolapse to operate

Prolapse is usually more than 5cm to be operated. Prolapse according to the distance of prolapse is divided into three degrees, prolapse distance of 3~5cm for one degree of prolapse, prolapse distance of 5~10cm for two degrees of prolapse, prolapse distance of more than 10cm for three degrees of prolapse, one degree of prolapse in the guidance of the doctor through conservative treatment can alleviate the symptoms, and the second degree of prolapse and the third degree of prolapse need to be operated. So prolapse generally more than 5cm need to be operated, but the specific prolapse of a few centimeters to be operated, should also be judged by the clinician according to the patient’s specific situation. Surgical treatment of prolapse is divided into three categories: injection therapy, transabdominal surgery, transperineal surgery, in which injection therapy has a certain degree of efficacy in children’s prolapse, and transperineal surgery should be performed for patients who are old and weak and cannot tolerate transabdominal surgery or emergency rectal prolapse incarceration. After surgery, patients should pay attention to the healing of the surgical incision, observe whether there is infection, bleeding and so on, and also pay attention to whether the bowel movement is smooth and can be controlled independently; in daily life, we should also pay attention to strengthening nutrition, eat more fiber-rich food, and develop a regular bowel habit, so as to promptly improve the constipation and diarrhea and other conditions.
