Rectal Prolapse Treatment in Los Angeles
Expert rectal prolapse repair from Dr. Yosef Nasseri — minimally invasive, function-preserving surgery that restores comfort and control.
Restoring Normal Anatomy and Comfort
Rectal prolapse occurs when part of the rectum slips down and protrudes through the anus. It can cause discomfort, bleeding, mucus discharge, and problems with bowel control, and it tends to worsen over time without treatment.
While it can be distressing, rectal prolapse is very treatable, and modern minimally invasive repairs offer excellent, lasting results. Dr. Nasseri tailors the approach to each patient to restore normal anatomy and quality of life.

Understanding Rectal Prolapse
Prolapse ranges from a partial, internal descent to a full-thickness protrusion. Identifying the type guides the best repair.
Partial Prolapse
Only the lining of the rectum slips down, often an early stage that still benefits from evaluation.
Full-Thickness Prolapse
The entire rectal wall protrudes through the anus and typically needs surgical repair for lasting relief.
Internal Prolapse
The rectum folds on itself internally, which can cause obstructed bowel movements and discomfort.
Symptoms and Causes
Common symptoms include a feeling or visible bulge of tissue protruding from the anus, mucus or blood discharge, difficulty with bowel movements, and worsening bowel control. Many patients also feel incomplete emptying.
Rectal prolapse most often results from weakening of the pelvic floor and supporting tissues, which can follow childbirth, chronic straining, or simply aging. Because it rarely improves on its own, timely evaluation by an experienced surgeon leads to the best outcomes.
Rectal Prolapse Treatment Options
Dr. Nasseri chooses the repair best suited to your anatomy and health, favoring minimally invasive techniques with strong, durable results.
Robotic Rectopexy
A minimally invasive procedure that lifts and secures the rectum in its proper position, with excellent long-term success.
Laparoscopic Repair
Small-incision surgery to restore normal anatomy with less pain and faster recovery.
Perineal Approaches
For select patients, repair through the anal area offers a gentler option without abdominal surgery.
Pelvic Floor Support
Therapy and bowel-habit changes support the repair and improve overall function.
Treating Related Issues
Addressing constipation and continence problems together improves the overall outcome.
