title: [Total rectal prolapse in children. Modified Lockhart-Mummery operation].
abstract: A variant of the Lockhart Mummery operation for complete rectal prolapse in children is described. The modification consists of inserting a polyglactin mesh in the retrorectal presacral space. Nine children have been operated upon and followed up, some of them for more than 2 years. The immediate and long-term post-operative course has been satisfactory in all cases.
