Overview
Historical Perspective
Historically, rectal prolapse was described on papyrus in 1500 BC.[1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
Hippocrates suggested a treatment for rectal prolapse: the patients could be treated by hanging them to a tree upside down, applying sodium hydroxide to the mucosa, and fixing for 3 days. In medieval times, scientists suggested that rectal prolapse could be prevented by using a scar (through burning the anus) or by using a stick. In the 20th century, rectal prolapse was studied scientifically and Nowadays there are various surgical methods for rectal prolapse treatment. [1]
