Secondary rectal perforation following procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids: a case report.

The procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) is designed to reposition displaced anal cushions by circumferential resection of the distal rectal mucosa. PPH offers advantages over traditional excisional hemorrhoidectomy, including less postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay. However, complications such as anastomotic dehiscence and rectal perforation may occur and require prompt management. This case report presents a patient who developed rectal perforation following PPH, aiming to provide valuable insights for clinical practice.
