Ventral Mesh Rectopexy
Modern keyhole rectopexy using a soft mesh placed in front of the rectum to support and lift the prolapse — sphincter-sparing, nerve-preserving, with excellent functional results.
What is Ventral Mesh Rectopexy?
Ventral Mesh Rectopexy (VMR) is a modern, minimally invasive technique for rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (intussusception), and certain forms of rectocele. A soft mesh is placed in front of the rectum and fixed to the sacrum, lifting the prolapse without disturbing the back of the rectum or pelvic nerves. This nerve-sparing approach gives excellent functional results, especially for bowel control. Dr. Tejasree Vengala, an experienced female proctologist and laparoscopic surgeon in Hyderabad, performs ventral mesh rectopexy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, offering a durable, function-preserving cure.
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.
Anterior Rectal Mobilisation
The front of the rectum is gently mobilised down to the pelvic floor, with full preservation of the back of the rectum and pelvic nerves.
Mesh Placement
A soft, lightweight mesh is fixed in front of the rectum and to the sacrum, lifting the prolapse and supporting the front pelvic structures.
Closure & Recovery
The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. Most patients walk the same evening, eat the next day, and are discharged in 2 days.

Factors That Influence Ventral Mesh Rectopexy Cost
The overall cost may depend on:
- →
Type and severity of rectal prolapse: The extent of prolapse, associated pelvic floor dysfunction, bowel symptoms, and other colorectal conditions may influence treatment planning and surgical complexity.
- →
Pre-operative evaluation: Required clinical examination, colonoscopy or other investigations, imaging when needed, and medical assessments before surgery may affect the overall cost.
- →
Surgical approach and mesh requirements: The cost may vary depending on whether the procedure is performed laparoscopically or robotically, along with the type of mesh and fixation materials required.
- →
Additional procedures: If bowel resection, pelvic floor procedures, or other colorectal interventions are required along with ventral mesh rectopexy, the cost may vary.
- →
Hospital stay and post-operative care: The duration of admission, medicines, dietary guidance, physiotherapy when required, and follow-up visits may influence the final estimate
