Abstract

Materials and methods

Fourteen cases of PRP were managed with LRP from February 2008 to August 2012.

Results

Of the 14 children, 10 (71.42%) were males and 4 (28.57%) were females. Male to female ratio was 2:1. The mean age of presentation was 5 years (3-8 years). The presenting complaints were mass descending per rectum along with bleeding per rectum lasting from 1 to 3 years. All had rectal prolapse of 5 to 7 cm in length. Twelve out of 14 children had recurrence even after sclera-therapy before referral to laparoscopic rectopexy. The mean duration of surgery was 30 minutes (20-60 minutes). No intraoperative complications were reported, only one case get constipation and managed conservatively and no recurrence.

Conclusion

LRP is safe, feasible in children and gives satisfactory results after failure of all conservative even sclera-therapy injection.
