Abstract
External rectal prolapse (ERP) is a complete protrusion of the rectal wall through the anal canal. The precise prevalence of recurrent (R)- ERP is still unknown although some studies have reported 20–30 % after primary surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the anatomic and functional outcomes of R-ERP surgical treatment proposing a decision-making algorithm for this rare and challenging disease.
