===Surgery===

Rectal resection and anastomosis may be needed in cases where manual reduction is not possible or if the tissue is severely traumatised, devitalised or necrotic.  A Colopexy procedure which fixes the rectum and colon in place can be considered in recurrent cases where multiple attempts of manual reduction have failed.  Complications such as anal stricture, faecal incontinence, dehiscence, haemorrhage and infection can occur following surgery.

==Prognosis==

Prognosis is poor in untreated cases of chronic rectal prolapse. The prognosis for surgical patients is good provided the underlying cause is appropriately addressed.
