About this trial
Rectal prolapse is a protrusion of rectal wall through the anus. A surgical technique called Ventral mesh rectopexy has become a standard procedure for this condition in many centers.
The goal of this trial is to investigate functional outcome, recurrence rates and complications after ventral mesh rectopexy. The main question it aims to answer is:
\- Do bowel function, quality of life and sexual function improve after Ventral mesh rectopexy?
Participants will:
* be asked to fill in questionaires before surgery, 3-6 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery. * be examined by a surgeon 3-6 months, 12 months and 3 years after surgery.
