description Rectal prolapse is the invagination of rectal layers through the anal canal and its protrusion out of it. Its incidence is 2.5 per 100 000 inhabitants with a predominance of elderly women. It is a little known, chronic condition of benign course, whose clinical and endoscopic presentation is so variable that it can be confused with other entities such as a colorectal cancer or ulcerative colitis. For these reasons a case of complete rectal prolapse in an adult male patient is presented. The surgical management performed is discussed.
