Abstract
A 58 year old man presented with strangulated complete rectal prolase and underwent emergency Altemeier's perineal proctosigmoidectomy. He had uneventful recovery. This case report highlights the importance of Altemeier's procedure as the only option for managing rectal prolapse when patients present with incarceration or strangulation of the prolapsed rectum with good outcome.
