While ventral mesh rectopexy is proposed as the preferred procedure in females, the debate on the best procedure in men is still wide open.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review of all adult male patients operated for external rectal prolapse (ERP) between January 2005 and December 2019 was performed. Patients either underwent modified laparoscopic posterior mesh rectopexy (LPMR) or laparoscopic resection rectopexy (LRR). The outcome was analysed in terms of recurrence, post-operative constipation, sexual dysfunction and other complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 118 male patients were included (LPMR: 106, LRR: 12).

The mean length of hospital stay was 4.8 days (SD: 1.4, range: 3\u201311 days). There was no anastomotic leak in the LRR group.
