Overview
Rectal prolapse may be classified into complete and incomplete subtypes based on disease extension or be classified into pediatric and adult subtypes based on age of presentation.
Classification
Classification by disease extension:
Rectal prolapse is classified by disease extension into two subtypes:
- Complete prolapse: a protrusion of the entire layer of the rectum to the outside of the anus.
- Incomplete prolapse: the protruding rectal wall is limited to the inside of the anal canal. Mucosal prolapse is not a protrusion of the whole layer of the rectal wall, but only the anal mucosa.[1]
Classification by age of presentation:
Rectal prolapse may be classified by age of presentation into two subtypes:
- Pediatric type: which usually presents with mucosal prolapse only
- Adult type: showing full-thickness protrusion[2]
