Recovery after rectal prolapse surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients recover after a specific surgery for rectal prolapse, called ventral mesh rectopexy. It aims to understand the functional outcomes to help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a full-thickness rectal prolapse, meaning the rectum protrudes completely through the anus.
- Your surgeon has agreed that ventral mesh rectopexy is the right treatment for you.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits and fill out questionnaires.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You can understand Swedish and do not have dementia or other cognitive issues that would prevent informed consent.

This is a patient registry study for people having a laparoscopic or robotic operation called ventral mesh rectopexy to treat posterior pelvic organ prolapse. It mainly collects information through questionnaires to better understand outcomes and care, rather than testing a new drug.
This study looks at people who are having surgery for rectal prolapse. The goal is to learn more about outcomes and care for patients after surgery.
This trial is testing two different ways of doing laparoscopic surgery (using small incisions and a camera) to fix a complete rectal prolapse. The goal is to see which approach works better.
This study tests a new way to rebuild the pelvic floor (the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis) and the wound after surgery to remove the rectum for cancer. The goal is to improve healing and reduce complications after this major operation.
This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
This trial compares a biological mesh made from sheep tissue (OviTex) with a standard synthetic mesh for repairing pelvic organ prolapse during robotic surgery. It aims to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
