The Nordic Rectal Prolapse Study

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to gather data about surgical procedures for rectal prolapse in adult human subjects. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Which procedure is best for treating external rectal prolapse?

Participants will:

* be included if they can consent to participation
* be offered standard care treatment, as no interventions will be done
* be asked to answer relevant questionnaires within 3 months prior to the surgery for rectal prolapse
* be asked to answer the same questionnaires 6 and 12 months postoperative
* optionally answer the questionnaires again at 3 and 1 year postoperative, but this is not part of the existing funding body

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Quality of life after surgery — 6 months
  To determine whether well-established procedures for external rectal prolapse are non-inferior to LVMR using EQ-5D at 6 months post-surgery.
