This study aimed to analyse the frequency of male rectal prolapse and compare the results of different surgical approaches performed at a single centre.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n The authors included patients who underwent surgical treatment for rectal prolapse from March 2016 to February 2021. The proportion of males, mean age and recurrence rates were calculated. Patients were divided into two groups, transanal approach and laparoscopic abdominal approach group, to identify the para-operative parameters including functional tests.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 56 males, comprising 23.7% (56\/236) of all patients. The mean age was 60.8 years, with a recurrence rate of 7 cases (12.5%) during 7.2 months of follow-up. Forty patients underwent transanal procedures, and fifteen underwent laparoscopic abdominal procedures. The mean operative time was longer in the laparoscopic group (transanal vs. abdominal, 57.5 vs. 70.6 min,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.003), and intra-operative bleeding was greater in the transanal group (12.4 vs. 3.4 ml,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). Full-layer prolapse (36.8 vs. 81.2%\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.003) and longer length (5.6 vs. 7.8 cm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.048) were more common in laparoscopic group. Time to feeding resumption was shorter after the transanal group (1.2 vs. 1.7 days,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.028). There was no difference between the groups in terms of post-operative complications and recurrence rates. Both Wexner's constipation and incontinence scores showed significant improvement postoperatively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The frequency of male rectal prolapse was 23.7%, and perioperative factors differed between transanal and abdominal approaches, but recurrence rates and functional test results did not differ significantly.<\/jats:p>\n
