Clin Case Rep. 2017 Mar 29;5(5):642-644. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.918. eCollection 2017 May.

Abstract

We report a rare case of rectal prolapse with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome in which laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy and rectopexy were performed simultaneously and resulted in improved quality of life due to the loss of ascites and the repair of rectal prolapse. Laparoscopic surgery is feasible for rectal prolapse with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome.

Keywords: Laparoscopic surgery; Pseudo‐Meigs’ syndrome; rectal prolapse; rectopexy.
