[The Lockhart-Mummery technique in the treatment of the total rectal prolapse among children. Concerning 25 cases (author's transl)].

A variant of Lockhart-Mummery's technique is proposed. Packing retrorectal space by Spongel instead of the vaseline gauze, the post-operative care is simplified and the delay of hospitalisation really shortened. This technique has been always efficient in 25 cases.
