A 34-year-old man with recent-onset constipation presented with colonic obstruction due to a palpable rectal tumour. Colostomy relieved the obstruction and biopsy revealed carcinoma. During workup, full-thickness rectal prolapse occurred with the tumour at the apex of an intussusception. Imaging revealed a low rectal tumour and no metastases. An abdominal oncological rather than perineal resection of the rectum was planned. At laparotomy, the tumour was reduced and was seen to originate at the rectosigmoid junction. Surgery was successful and follow-up has been clear. Histology revealed an adenocarcinoma with microsatellite instability. Rectal prolapse due to tumour intussusception is very rare. In this young man, it was due to straining at stool because of constipation and tenesmus rather than pelvic floor abnormality. An associated colorectal tumour should be considered in patients with rectal prolapse. In such cases, surgical and adjuvant management may need to be modified.

Rectal prolapse is the full thickness intussusception of the rectal wall with protrusion out of the anus.  It is a benign condition associated with multiple anatomic abnormalities such as a redundant sigmoid colon, attenuation of sacral attachments, diastasis of the levators, a patulous anus, and a deep cul-de-sac.  It often presents with concomitant symptoms of fecal incontinence and constipation, or both.  In this review, we will discuss widely accepted abdominal procedures for the repair of rectal prolapse as well as advances in the arena.  Pre-operative evaluation, management and planning as well as perineal procedures are discussed in a separate review. This review contains 9 figures, 1 table, and 44 references.  Key Words:  Rectal prolapse, abdominal procedures, resection, rectopexy, mesh, laparoscopic, robotic

An 86-year-old female presented with the first episode of an incarcerated full thickness rectal prolapse, concerning for ischemia of the prolapsed segment. Intra-operatively, the patient was noted to have an enterocele containing a 20-25 cm segment of strangulated and perforated small bowel. She underwent a perineal rectosigmoidectomy (altemeier procedure) with levatorplasty followed by a small bowel resection and anastomosis trans-abdominally.
