Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has compared no rectopexy to rectopexy for external full-thickness rectal prolapse (FTRP). This study was performed to test the hypothesis that recurrence rates for FTRP following no rectopexy are not inferior to those for rectopexy.

Method: This is a multicenter randomized non-inferiority trial. Eligible patients were randomized to no rectopexy or rectopexy. The no rectopexy arm was defined as abdominal surgery with rectal mobilization only. The rectopexy arm was defined as abdominal surgery with mobilization and pexy. Sigmoid resection was not randomized and was added in the presence of constipation. The endpoint was recurrence rates defined as presence of external FTRP after surgery. A pre-RCT meta-analysis suggested a sample size of 251 patients based on a 15% expected difference in the 5-year cumulative recurrence rate. Recurrence-free curves will be generated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, respectively. A Bonferroni adjustment was used. An adjusted p value of \<0.01 was considered significant.
