Abstract


A 58 year old man presented with strangulated complete
rectal prolase and underwent emergency Altemeier's perineal
proctosigmoidectomy. He had uneventful recovery. This case
report highlights the importance of Altemeier's procedure as
the only option for managing rectal prolapse when patients
present with incarceration or strangulation of the prolapsed
rectum with good outcome.
