Abstract:
This report is a review of experience with 45 patients plication methods of redundant rectal mucosa by longitudinal over and over suture who were admitted in department of surgery at Dongsan sacred Heart Hospital during 1997. This new technique was indicated by incomplete rectal prolapse, first degree complete rectal prolapse (internal rectal intussusception), 3rd degree hemorrhoids, redundant rectal mucosa in operation field, anal prolapse and severe external anal skin tag. At first, entire hemorrhoid-bearing area was dissected by excision and ligation methods. Within upward 1cm from ligationpoint, No.3 chromic catgut suture was done including rectal submucosa. Starting from this, linear continueous overlapping locking suture was done until redundant mucosa was tented by Chromic suture traction in range of 1 to 1.5 cm widths. If there is wide redundant mucosa not corrected one time, another linear continuous overlapping locking suture especially not circular may be done. This method is very easy and few complication-bleeding, pain, infection, mucosa loss, etc. The patients who have incomplete defecation sensation, rectocele and skin tag were satisfied with operation. This method may be an easy, effective new technique in patients who have anal prolapse, skin tag, rectocele and constipation etc.
