For patients for whom an abdominal approach is not advisable, Dr. Iqbal is highly skilled in perineal procedures such as the Altemeier perineal rectosigmoidectomy. This technique involves removing the protruding segment of the rectum through an incision made in the perineum, avoiding an abdominal operation altogether. The choice of procedure is determined after a thorough evaluation and detailed discussion of the benefits and potential risks of each option. At SurgicalSol, under the expert care of Dr. Asif Iqbal, patients receive compassionate and definitive treatment aimed at resolving symptoms and significantly enhancing their daily life and comfort.
Rectal Prolapse
Rectal Prolapse – Comprehensive Surgical Care at SurgicalSol
Rectal prolapse is a medical condition where the rectum, the final segment of the large intestine, loses its normal support structure and turns inside out, descending through the anal canal. This can lead to a noticeable protrusion, mucous discharge, fecal incontinence, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life. At SurgicalSol, Dr. Asif Iqbal provides expert, comprehensive surgical management for rectal prolapse, offering tailored procedures to correct the anatomy and restore normal bowel function.
Treatment for a full-thickness rectal prolapse is primarily surgical, with the specific approach carefully selected based on the patient's age, overall health, and the nature of their prolapse. Dr. Iqbal specializes in both abdominal and perineal surgical techniques. For appropriate candidates, a minimally invasive abdominal rectopexy is often the preferred procedure. This involves repositioning the prolapsed rectum back into its correct anatomical position and securing it to the sacrum, often using mesh for reinforcement. This can frequently be performed laparoscopically, resulting in less post-operative pain and a quicker recovery.
