If left untreated, rectal prolapse may present as an emergency, be it incarceration or strangulation. In an emergency presentation for incarcerated rectal prolapse every attempt should be taken to reduce the prolapsed rectum, if not successful, emergency surgery is indicated, with perineal approach being the first choice in elderly with multiple comorbidities. |
