Abstract
Transperineal rectosigmoidectomy is a relatively safe operation for the treatment of rectal prolapse; however, it carries a high rate of recurrence. The use of biologic mesh to buttress the repair and support the pelvic floor muscles may decrease the rate of recurrence. The technique for performing an Altemeier procedure with biologic mesh is described. © Springer-Verlag 2011Mesh:
