title: [Laparoscopic Resection Rectopexy for the Treatment of External Rectal Prolapse].
abstract: Laparoscopic resection rectopexy is one of the surgical options for the treatment of external rectal prolapse. A standardised and reproducible procedure for this operation is a decisive advantage for such cases. The operation can be divided in 11 substeps, so-called nodal points, which must be reached before further progress can be made and simplify the operation by dividing the procedure into substeps. This manuscript and the accompanying film demonstrate the standardised laparoscopic resection rectopexy as taught in the "Surgical Training Center Tübingen," and performed at the University Hospital of Tübingen.
