AB  - Rectal  prolapse  is  an  uncommon  condition.  It  was  first  described  in  the  Bible  (2  Chronicles  21).  “You  yourself  will  be  very  ill  with  a  lingering  disease  of  the  bowels,  until  the  disease  causes  your  bowels  to  come  out….  After  all  this,  the  Lord  afflicted  Jehoram  with  an  incurable  disease  of  the  bowels.  In  the  course  of  time,  at  the  end  of  the  second  year,  his  bowels  came  out  because  of  the  disease,  and  he  died  in  great  pain.”  The  pathophysiology  of  a  rectal  prolapse  has  been  evolving  since  1543  when  Vesalius  described  the  detailed  anatomy  of  the  anorectum.  Today,  three  types  of  rectal  prolapse  are  recognized  and  they  represent  three  stages  of  a  continuum.1
