Surgical management of pediatric rectal prolapse: A survey of the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA)

This APSA survey of 236 pediatric surgeons reveals significant practice variation in managing refractory rectal prolapse, with most using local therapy initially (injection sclerotherapy most common) before progressing to surgical options like transabdominal rectopexy. Age influences treatment decisions, with surgeons more likely to offer definitive surgery to older children.
