Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with rectal mucosal resection and myometrial folding (Delorme) in patients with grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ rectal prolapse (RP).Methods From March 2018 to March 2021, 82 patients with second-degree and third-degree RP were selected as research objects, and divided into A group (n = 41) and B group (n = 41). The group A performed PPH combined with Delorme surgery, and the group B performed traditional PPH surgery. The clinical efficacy, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), functions of anus, bowel movements, and complications in the postoperative 1 month were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). On postoperative days 3 and 7, VAS in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05). Compared with before treatment, the threshold of rectal mucosa sensation was significantly increased (P < 0.05) and the functional length of anal canal was significantly shortened (P < 0.05) in both groups 90 d after surgery, and the threshold of rectal mucosa sensation in group A was significantly higher than that in group B, and the functional length of anal canal was significantly shorter than that in group B. The score of defecation control ability of group A was significantly lower than that of group B one month after operation, the defecation time was significantly shorter than that of group B, and the defecation frequency was significantly less than that of group B (P < 0.05). The incidence of abnormal urination, fever, difficulty defecation and anastomotic infection 1 month after operation in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05).Conclusion Compared with traditional PPH surgery, the clinical treatment effect of patients with second-degree and third-degree RP is better by PPH combined with Delorme surgery, which can effectively reduce postoperative pain, improve canal function, enhance patients' ability to control the stool, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
