Overview

About Laparoscopic/ Robotic Rectopexy

Rectopexy is a surgical repair for rectal prolapse in which the rectum is repositioned and fixed to the sacrum.

The laparoscopic or robotic approach provides excellent long-term results with less pain and faster recovery than open surgery.

Preservation of bowel function and continence is a key priority.
