Abstract

Contour Transtar procedure for rectal prolapse is a promising technique according to safety and efficacy. One potential surgical problem is failure of the stapler due to the thick rectal wall. In order to evaluate the practicability and the impending limitations of the Contour Transtar technique, we reviewed our data with special respect to the necessity of additional anastomosis suturing.
