Rectal Prolapse
<p>Reviews the Broden and Snellman theory of rectal prolapse as a progressive internal intussusception. The episode clarifies the misnomer of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome—where true ulcers only appear in 23% of cases—and outlines its precise operative indications.

Treatment of Difficult-Obstructive Defecation

The operative discussion highlights the abandonment of the STARR procedure due to a 40% long-term recurrence rate, instead favoring laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy for internal prolapse and transvaginal native tissue repairs for rectoceles.</p><p><br></p>
