Overview

Classification

Classification by disease extension:

Rectal prolapse is classified by disease extension into two subtypes:

  • Complete prolapse: a protrusion of the entire layer of the rectum to the outside of the anus.
  • Incomplete prolapse: the protruding rectal wall is limited to the inside of the anal canal. Mucosal prolapse is not a protrusion of the whole layer of the rectal wall, but only the anal mucosa.[1]

Classification by age of presentation:

Rectal prolapse may be classified by age of presentation into two subtypes:

  • Pediatric type: which usually presents with mucosal prolapse only
  • Adult type: showing full-thickness protrusion[2]
