title: How to do it in surgery: laparoscopic rectopexy.
abstract: Laparoscopically performed rectopexy is now possible, with all the advantages of a minimally invasive technique. It may involve implantation of mesh (Cuesta et al, 1993), suturing (Graf et al, 1995) of the reduced rectum or resection of redundant colon (Baker et al, 1995). Essentially the laparoscopic operation mimics the open procedure.
