@entity1 @entity322 @entity254 @entity1142 @entity3577
Transabdominal posterior rectopexy with resection of the redundant left colon (Frykman-Goldberg operation) was performed on 48 selected @entity1 with @entity3577 . Uterine suspension was also performed on most of the @entity1 . The 30-day mortality rate was 2.1%. Prolapse recurred in 4 (9%) of the 45 @entity1 followed up for 1-10 (mean 4.3) years. There were no complications attributable to bowel resection or @entity254 . Adequate data on both preoperative and postoperative anal function and bowel habit were available in 41 cases. All but two of the 32 @entity1 with associated @entity322 experienced improved anal control after the operation (9 regained normal continence). Bowel habit improved in 23 @entity1 (56%), especially in those with chronic @entity1142 . No @entity1 reported increased problems of bowel management. The operation does not involve the risks associated with implantation of foreign material and can be especially beneficial for constipated @entity1 with @entity3577 who are fit for major abdominal surgery.
