Overview
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]
