In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that prolapse development is strongly associated with pelvic hiatus (GH) size (normal 4.5 +\/- 0.7). Multiple surgical studies have suggested that an enlarged pelvic hiatus may be associated with prolapse recurrence. The main aim of this study is to assess the role of combining levatorplasty -with different rectal prolapse surgeries- on recurrence rate and improvement of symptoms in patients that were treated for rectal prolapse with wide pelvic hiatus.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Patients and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our study is a combined retrospective and prospective cohort study which included sixty patients with rectal prolapse with wide pelvic hiatus, they were divided into two groups (each group thirty patients).
