[Potentialities of complex treatment of prolapse of the rectum].

The method of surgical correction of prolapse of the rectum should be chosen with special reference to the patient's age, severe somatic diseases, co-existing pathology of the colon (diverticulosis) and necessity of resection of part of the large intestine as well as marked previous constipations in order to use the most adequate method of surgical treatment. The biofeedback therapy should be used in some patients in the postoperative period due to concomitant insufficiency of the anal sphincter for obtaining better results of the operative treatment.
