Active clinical trials for "Rectal Prolapse"

Cap-assisted endoscopic sclerotherapy (CAES) is a new interventional therapy for internal hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse under colonoscopy. However, the long-term efficacy and safety of CAES in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse are still not clear due to the lack of large sample studies. Therefore, a nationwide multi-center, large sample, prospective and cohort study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAES in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse, to provide reliable evidence for popularization of this minimally invasive technology.

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 4-6 centers. The data will assist in future evaluating the performance of the ColonRing device in regards to the creation of a colorectal anastomosis in Low Anterior Resection procedures. 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.

Patients aging less than 45 years with rectal prolapse will undergo full pathologic and functional assessment to determine the underlying etiology.
