Massive prolapsed haemorrhoids managed by ablation and correction in a poor resourced area

We report a case of symptomatic chronic circumferentially prolapsed haemorrhoids that had several failed attempts at surgical repair. This was fina...

This was finally managed by ablation and correction of the associated rectal mucosal prolapse by a modified ‘Delorme's procedure akin to a stapled anopexy.
