Reparación de prolapso rectal

Expectativas después de la cirugía:

Generalmente la cirugía es efectiva en la reparación del prolapso y las expectativas de recuperación a largo plazo son excelentes. El estreñimiento y la incontinencia se pueden convertir en un problema para algunos pacientes.

Convalecencia:

La permanencia en el hospital depende del procedimiento que se utilice: para los procedimientos abdominales abiertos, el promedio es de 5 a 8 días y es más corto en caso de cirugía laparoscópica; mientras que el promedio en caso de cirugía perineal (procedimiento desde abajo) es de 2 a 3 días. Se puede esperar una recuperación total en 4 a 6 semanas.
