Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...the formation of rectal prolapse. Symptoms of partial prolapse. The diagnosis of this disease is easy, the protrusions of mucous membrane appearing as bright red folds, arranged with sulci between them, which radiate from the aperture (Fig. 80), whereas the sulci in complete prolapse are principally parallel to the anal margin of the bowel (Fig. 81), and, again, in partial prolapse the size of the tumour is usually of much more limited dimensions. The principal masses in partial prolapse are placed laterally, and on the surface of the prolapsed intestine superficial catarrhal ulcerations are frequently to be seen. At first the protrusion only occurs after defaecation, and is easily returnable; in more chronic cases, however, it becomes more difficult to replace, and may reappear independently of defaecation. The mucous membrane also becomes thickened, and the sub-mucosa infiltrated. A muco-purulent discharge is common, and anal bleeding to a slight extent often occurs. As has been elsewhere stated, the protrusion of internal piles is frequently associated with more or less prolapse of the mucous membrane, but this is a condition which ought always to be readily distinguished from the disease under consideration. Prolapsed haemorrhoids are more isolated tumours, and firmer to the feel than a mere flap of mucous membrane, and when of the venous variety the livid colour will serve to establish the diagnosis. Of the complications of partial prolapse, the most important is inflammatory gangrene, which is an occasional termination, by means of which Nature sometimes effects a spontaneous cure of this disease, the gangrene being due to inflammatory stagnation, and not to the strangulation of the prolapse by the sphincters, indeed in these cases relaxation of the s...
