Thiersch repair of a spontaneous rupture of rectal prolapse with evisceration of small bowel through anus - a case report.

Spontaneous rupture of colon or rectum is a rare event. Protrusion of several loops of small bowel through the anal orifice is a bizarre condition which has only rarely been reported in the literature. We report the first case where Thiersch repair was used to manage spontaneous perforation of rectal prolapse and provided a successful outcome.
