BACKGROUND: While some patients report full thickness rectal prolapse (RP) exclusively during defecation, others may experience it spontaneously during walking, exercise, and/or all the time. We hypothesized that patients with RP only during defecation have more preserved physiological and anatomical characteristics and aimed to identify the phenotypes of patients with various RP expression.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained registry of women with RP (2017-2023) included clinical characteristics, MRI defecography (MRD), and high-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM).
KEY RESULTS: Of 297 patients, 147 (49%) experienced defecation-only RP, while 150 (51%) had spontaneous RP. The defecation-only RP group was younger (p < 0.001) and exhibited higher obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS) scores (p < 0.001), associated with higher rectal pressures at simulated defecation. The spontaneous RP patients had higher Wexner fecal incontinence scores (p < 0.001) and were more likely to seek medical care within 6 months of symptom onset (p = 0.006). On MRD, they had larger levator hiatus length, width, and bowl volume along with a wider anorectal angle. HR-ARM showed lower resting anal pressures (p = 0.03) and less sustained squeeze pressures (p = 0.04) in this group.
CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: Defecation-only RP appears to represent a distinct phenotype, potentially an early stage of RP, characterized by younger age, more severe obstructive symptoms, more preserved anal sphincter function, and less pelvic floor laxity. Future research should focus on risk factors for progression to more sustained RP and the potential benefits of early intervention in patients with defecation-only RP.
