Clinical examination revealed that he had complete rectal prolapse. Then he was ready for surgery with a full colonoscopy and some blood work. Surgery is performed laparoscopically. Four small incisions were made in the abdominal wall, the prolapsed sigmoid colon was resected, and the rectum was fixed. The patient was discharged within 4 days of surgery in good condition.
