Overview

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.

Historical Perspective

Historically, rectal prolapse was described on papyrus in 1500 BC.

In 1977, they confirmed perineal nerve injury in patients with rectal prolapse by performed biopsies of the pelvic floor in patients undergoing posterior repair.[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]
