Purpose: This article describes a technique for laparoscopic suture rectopexy and assesses the postoperative results.
Methods: The rectum was fixed to the presacral fascia with five to six sutures. The procedure was performed using a laparoscope in four patients.
Results: There were no postoperative complications. In one patient a large enterocele was observed during the operation. This patient developed a recurrence about one month postoperatively.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic suture rectopexy might be an alternative to open rectopexy for patients with isolated rectal prolapse.
