Surgical management must aim for a permanent fixation of the rectum to the presacral fascia. While in children with IRP following ARM repair the optimal procedure has not been established yet, laparoscopic posterior mesh-rectopexy (Well's procedure) has demonstrated efficacy in adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A male infant with intermediate ARM received laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through at the age of 4 months. Three months later he developed mucosal prolapse and received multimodal conservative treatment. Because of progression into a full-thickness RP with ulcerations, the parents opted for surgical management. Well's procedure was performed at the age of 4 years. Using four ports, the rectum was circumferentially mobilized down to the pelvic floor and pulled inside. A 5 \u00d7 5 cm prolene mesh was tacked to the sacrum, enveloped posteriorly 270\u00b0 around the rectum, fixed with interrupted prolene sutures on both edges and carefully covered with peritoneum. Any redundant external mucosa was excised from a perineal approach. There were no intra- and postoperative complications. Within 1.5 years of follow-up the boy had voluntary bowel movements and was toilet trained. No prolapse recurrence could be observed nor provoked.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present the first pediatric case of IRP secondary to laparoscopic ARM repair which has been successfully treated by combined Well's procedure and perineal mucosal resection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Well's procedure is a successful technique and should be further explored in children with ARM and IRP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.12.020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]],"date-time":"2017-12-13T13:42:42Z","timestamp":1513172562000},"page":"187-190","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Laparoscopic posterior rectopexy (Well's procedure) for full-thickness rectal prolapse following laparoscopic repair of an anorectal malformation"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Elhaddad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva E.","family":"Amerstorfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Singer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Huber-Zeyringer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holger","family":"Till","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-44-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"324","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2015.0250","article-title":"Laparoscopic suture rectopexy for persistent rectal prolapse in children: is it a safe and effective first-line intervention?","volume":"26","author":"Awad","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
