A review some twenty years ago of the then popular rectosigmoidectomy for complete rectal prolapse having shown an excessive recurrence rate and a high incidence of incontinence, it was felt essential to seek for a more satisfactory and reliable surgical procedure for its management. This was achieved in the form of an operation, carried out from above and below, approximating the levator ani anterior to the rectum. This has given very much more satisfactory results, and is described in detail in this paper.
大约二十年前的一项综述表明，当时流行的用于完全直肠脱垂的直肠乙状结肠切除术复发率过高且失禁发生率很高，因此人们认为有必要寻求一种更令人满意且可靠的手术方法来治疗该病。这一目标通过一种上下联合的手术得以实现，该手术将肛提肌向前拉近直肠。其结果要令人满意得多，本文将对此进行详细描述。
