Surgical treatment of complete rectal prolapse by the Moore procedure - Short- and long-term results

We present our results of the surgical treatment of complete rectal prolapse according to Moore's procedure, The operation technique is based on liberation of the rectum and displacing it below the symphysis with extraperitoneal exposure of a part of the sigmoid with the rectum, During the last 20 years we operated 41 patients with complete rectal prolapse. Retrospectively, short- and long-term results have been satisfactory. In consideration of low recurrence rate, in our opinion, the Moore procedure is worthy of notice.
