The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of endoluminal rectal prolapse repair under sedation and local anesthesia using CO2 colonoscopy to fix the rectum with sutures to the abdominal wall under needlescopic control. Further, investigators will evaluate the short and long-term clinical outcomes after this novel approach to treating rectal prolapse.
.Aims/Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of endoluminal rectal prolapse repair under sedation and local anesthesia using CO2 colonoscopy to fix the rectum with sutures to the abdominal wall under needlescopic control. Further, we will evaluate the short and long-term clinical outcomes after this new procedure.
Primary Outcomes
Methods Design: A prospective pilot study with 10 patients who will be undergoing Combined Needlescopic and Endoluminal (Colonoscopic) Surgery under sedation and local anesthesia for Rectal Prolapse Repair with the Colon and Rectal Surgeons at WCMC. Data will be collected prospectively before, during, and after surgery.
Settings: Colon and Rectal Surgery at WCMC-NYPH Population: Patients male and female above 75 years of age, with rectal prolapse will be invited to participate in the study after surgery is deemed necessary for standard treatment of their medical conditions.
55 studies on the registry are indexed under Rectal Prolapse; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 10 is below the median of 55 across 34 interventional studies indexed under Rectal Prolapse.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
