Rectopexy is the most widespread method in the treatment of rectal prolapse. In the Department of Surgery of the University Hospital Münster and the Josephs-Hospital Warendorf in 102 cases absorbable mesh was used for the fixation of the mobilized rectum. The role of lethality and infection was 0%. The rate of recurrence was 4.9%, as low as it can be achieved with non-absorbable material.
