    Author: Beltran de Heredia JM.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1983; 68(2):161-2. PubMed ID: 6885297.
    Abstract:
    A new technique is reported for treatment of massive rectal prolapse, combining: mobilization of the rectum, colorectal fixation to the promontory and sacrum, "hammock-like" peritoneal autosuspension and obliteration of Douglas's pouch. The technique was successfully performed in six cases, with a follow-up ranging from one to six years; anal continence was satisfactory in four and fair in two.
