About

Incarceration and necrosis of rectal prolapse is rare and often requires urgent management. Perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeir procedure) is a reasonable technique for this condition. The need for a diverting stoma depends on the patient's condition and the experience and judgement of the surgeon. A literature review was performed to determine optimal management of incarcerated and necrotic rectal prolapse, and to determine the indication for fecal diversion.
