Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in the department of chirurgie A of the chu of point G. All patients operated on for rectal prolapse in the Department of Surgery “A” were included. Technics used were altemeier procedure and anoplasty. Results: 40 cases of complete rectal prolapse were identified. The sex ratio was 1.42. Average age was 50 years. During the study period, rectal prolapse accounted for 0.13% of all pathologies encountered (n = 40) and 3.37% of anorectal pathologies. Locoregional anesthesia was performed in all patients. In the series, 36 patients (90%) were operated on using the Altemeier procedure, anal cerclage was performed in 3 patients (7.5%), and anoplasty was performed in one patient (2.5%). Postoperative mortality was 2.5% (n = 1). The postoperative follow-up was simple in 95% of cases (n = 38). Anal stenosis was found in one patient (2.5%). Conclusion: Low-way surgery remains one of the preferred options for weakened patients exposed to anesthetic risks.展开更多
