Irwin R. Berman, Peter Henderson Jr.

Product Details
Product ID: ACS-1715
Year Produced: 1991
Length: 9 min.


Sutureless laparoscopic rectal sacropexy is illustrated in a woman with rectal procidentia and incontinence, using laparoscopic staples and a newly-designed laparoscopic periosteal tacker. Laparoscopic approaches to rectal prolapse afford a minimally invasive option for benign, but often debilitating disease, and a condition of "equipoise" with conventional open procedures.
