Active clinical trials for "Rectal Prolapse"

Aim of this work is to compare results between Laparoscopic Anterior Mesh Rectopexy and Laparoscopic Posterior Mesh Rectopexy for patients with rectal prolapse by assessment of operative time, intraoperative blood loss , intraoperative organ injury, overall length of hospital stay, recurrence,and improvement of incontinence and constipation.

The purpose of this randomized double blind controlled study is to assess the value of robotics for the treatment of complex pelvic floor dysfunction. The main aim is to compare perioperative and functional outcomes to the laparoscopic approach.

Obstructed Defecation is a profoundly disabling condition. Many different surgical procedures has been introduced to treat patients affected by this disease. The most used are STARR and ventral rectopexy. Because of the heterogenity of studies and overall the lack of comparison trials, there is no accepted standard surgical treatment.PRO-REST aimed to compare these two procedures (STARR and Ventral Rectopexy) evaluating functional and anatomical results.

Outcomes of laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy are well known, but data on intra-operative adverse events is scant. A multicenter pool-analysis of prospectively collected database on 1384 patients with internal/external rectal prolapse toke place. Overall 72 (5%) patients experienced complications, 41 discovered and managed intraoperatively, 22 postoperative complications, and 9 required readmission. Despite accepted lower rate of morbidity, these results come from four well equipped European centers by four surgeons practiced at least 200 LVMR.

In frail patients with external full-thickness rectal prolapse (FTRP), the exact postoperative recurrence and functional result outcomes difference between Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and perineal stapler resection (PSR) have not been investigated, leading to ineffective treatment. Objectives: Evaluating the efficacy of PSR versus LVMR for treating external FTRP in the elderly. Design: This was a retrospective study that involved multiple centers. Settings: This study was conducted in the colorectal surgical units of our Universities' Hospitals Patients: 330 elderly patients divided into LVMR group (250), and PSR (80) between April 2012 and April 2019. Before and after surgery, patients were evaluated using the Wexner Incontinence Scale, the Altomare Constipation Scale, and the patient's satisfaction. Main outcomes measurement: The primary outcome was the recurrence rate and risk factors of FTRP. Secondary outcomes were postoperative incontinence and constipation and patients' satisfaction.

Chronic obstinate constipation is hard to deal with in clinic. Especially for obstructed defecation syndrome(ODS). Rectal prolapse is the most common type of ODS. Lots of surgical procedures have been suggested for it but with unsatisfactory results.To develop new surgical treatment and to provide higher quality proof for this intractable condition is of significance.

Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) is a widespread and disabling syndrome. With this study the investigators want to evaluate the long term results of Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection (STARR) performed with Contour Transtar device in the treatment of ODS. A re-evaluation of 113 patients subjected to STARR from June 2007 to January 2010 was conducted.

The proposed study is a post marketing, observational, retrospective data collection intended to gather and record data on patients treated with the ColonRing™ device in routine clinical practice at a single center. The data will assist in further evaluating the performance of the ColonRing™ device in regards to the creation of a colorectal anastomosis. Hypothesis:The performance of the ColonRing™, determined by the rate of complications, will be within the acceptable range reported in the literature for alternative treatment modalities.

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery has become an important topic. NOTES access routes give the opportunity to reduce surgical access trauma leading to a more painless surgery and enhancing a fast postoperative recovery. Experience with transvaginal laparoscopic cholecystectomy and transvaginal anterior resection for diverticulitis show that such NOTES procedures are feasible and safe. The complication rate to conventional laparoscopic procedures is similar. Since transvaginal access is impossible in men, an alternative route is missing. There are experimental studies and small case series reporting the feasibility of transrectal anterior resection. However any prospective feasibility study demonstrating the safety of the procedure and functional outcomes (sphincter function) are missing. This study investigates the feasibility, practicability, safety and subjective as well as functional outcome of transrectal hybrid-NOTES anterior resection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Single Port (SP) robot (daVinci, Intuitive Surgical) to perform single port robotic colon surgery and transanal robotic surgery. The hypothesis of the study is that the SP robot will prove a safe effective modality to perform these procedures.
