Resection Rectopexy
Combines surgical removal of redundant sigmoid colon with rectopexy — used for select patients with rectal prolapse and severe constipation, addressing both problems together.
What is Resection Rectopexy?
Resection Rectopexy combines two procedures in one operation — removal of the redundant sigmoid colon (sigmoidectomy) and fixation of the rectum to the sacrum (rectopexy). It is particularly useful for patients with rectal prolapse who also suffer from severe constipation due to a long, redundant sigmoid colon. The combination addresses both the prolapse and the underlying functional problem in a single sitting. Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs laparoscopic resection rectopexy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, offering a definitive solution with improved bowel function.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Preparation
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The abdomen is prepared, and a urinary catheter is placed.
Keyhole Access
Three to four small incisions are made for the laparoscopic camera and working instruments.
Sigmoid Mobilisation & Resection
The redundant sigmoid colon is mobilised and resected. The healthy bowel ends are prepared for anastomosis.
Anastomosis & Rectopexy
The healthy bowel ends are joined together. The rectum is then mobilised and fixed to the sacrum to correct the prolapse.
Closure & Recovery
The small incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. Most patients are mobilised the next day and discharged in 3–5 days.

Resection Rectopexy Cost in Hyderabad
The cost of resection rectopexy in Hyderabad depends on the type and severity of rectal prolapse, associated constipation or bowel dysfunction, extent of bowel involvement, complexity of surgery, investigations required, and the care needed before and after the procedure.
For patients requiring resection rectopexy for rectal prolapse with associated bowel symptoms, the approximate cost ranges between ₹2,00,000 and ₹3,50,000.
| Procedure | Approximate Cost Range |
|---|---|

The final cost may vary depending on your individual condition, findings during evaluation, extent of bowel resection required, surgical approach, and whether any additional procedures are required.
Factors That Influence Resection Rectopexy Cost
The overall cost may depend on:
- →
Type and severity of rectal prolapse: The extent of prolapse, bowel function, constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, and associated colorectal conditions may influence treatment planning and surgical complexity.
- →
Pre-operative evaluation: Required clinical examination, colonoscopy or other investigations, imaging when needed, blood tests, and medical assessments before surgery may affect the overall cost.
- →
Bowel resection requirements: The length and portion of bowel requiring resection, along with the type of anastomosis performed, may influence the surgical cost.
- →
Surgical approach: The cost may vary depending on whether resection rectopexy is performed through an open or minimally invasive approach.
- →
Hospital stay and post-operative care: The duration of admission, medicines, dietary guidance, physiotherapy when required, and follow-up requirements may influence the final estimate.
