Özet

Introduction and importance: Rectal prolapse is defined as herniation of mucosa or full-thickness of the rectal wall through the anal canal. It has a negative impact on the quality of life and therefore, it should be treated as soon as diagnosis is confirmed. Definitive treatment is surgical and it depends on the clinical characteristics of the patients. We aimed to present the one of the largest rectal prolapse case in the literature.
