Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Prevention in Laparoscopic Wells Rectopexy for Rectal Prolapse through Mesh Trimming and Fixation Techniques
Objectives: Laparoscopic Wells rectopexy (LWR) is a standard procedure for rectal prolapse; however, recurrence and mesh-related complications remain clinical challenges, particularly in elderly patients with small pelvic anatomy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified LWR technique featuring intraoperative mesh tailoring and a hybrid fixation method.
