Objective To evaluate the application of modified perineal stapled prolapse resection in treatment of external rectal prolapse, and to assess the preliminary efficacy. Methods Clinical data of 11 patients with external rectal prolapse underwent modified perineal stapled prolapse resection in The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between December 2013 and August 2015 were collected for retrospectively analysis. Results All patients with external rectal prolapse were performed modified perineal stapled prolapse resection with general anesthesia and (or) epidural anesthesia. The average operation time was (53.6±6.1) min (40-85 min) and the average blood loss was (35.3±10.1) mL (20-60 mL). The time of the first flatus was less than 24 h after operation, the time of the first defecation was (44.6±3.3) h (40-52 h) after operation. The average hospital stay was (9.7±1.8) d (7-12 d) and average cost was (34 635.8±1 268.8) RMB (31 796-36 212 RMB). None of them occurred serious complications such as uncontrollable anastomotic stoma bleeding, anastomotic leakage, pelvic abscess, bowel obstruction, and anastomotic straitness. All of the 11 patients were followed up for (4.7±0.8) months (3-7 months), and all patients did not suffered from recurrence and fecal incontinence during follow-up period. Conclusions The essential procedure for modified perineal stapled prolapse resection is cutting the prolapse open at 3 and 9 clock directly at the same time by linear staplers, and dissecting mesorectum before using the contour satpler. Modified perineal stapled prolapse resection is a safe and effective operation technique for the external rectal prolapse.
