This workshop focuses on the diagnosis and management of combined rectal prolapse (RP) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Patients with POP are likely under screened for RP and patients with RP are likely under screened for POP. We will highlight which POP patients should undergo further work-up for RP and which RP patients should undergo further work-up for POP. We will briefly discuss conservative management and more thoroughly discuss surgical management of combined prolapse. Outcomes data on the complications and prolapse recurrence after combined RP and POP surgery will be presented. We will then discuss surgical approaches and techniques to combined surgery through videos.
Learning Objectives - To better understand the clinical presentation and work-up of patients with combined rectal prolapse (RP) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP)
- To better understand the current outcomes data on complications and prolapse recurrence after combined RP and POP surgery
- To better understand the surgical approaches and techniques to combined RP and POP surgery
