Dr. Chivate’s self-illuminating metal proctoscope: For a simpler, non-exploratory, cost-effective and painless surgical procedure for external rectal prolapse

1. Surgical management of patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse (FTRP) continues to remain a challenge in the laparoscopic era.
2. Existing surgical procedures for the management of FTRP are varied and lack consensus on which is the most appropriate approach.
3. To address this, Dr. Shantikumar Dhondiram Chivate, Senior Colorectal Surgeon Jeevan Jyot Hospital, Thane, Maharashtra, devised a surgical procedure for prolapse treatment called ‘Transanal Rectopexy for external rectal prolapse’ along with fabricating a highly durable metal proctoscope which aids the surgical procedure to be simple and relatively painless.

Unique features of Dr. Chivate’s Proctoscope- Metal:

1. Makes the procedure relatively direct, simple, and non-excisional.
2. Provides a clearer visual of the internal areas
3. Eliminates the need of any exploration or dissection around the rectum.
4. Surgical procedure can be performed in fragile, elderly and medically unfit patients.

Advantages:

1. Short operative time and cost-effective.
2. The procedure with presacral sclerosant injection can be safely performed in frail patients with FTRP.
3. Transanal rectopexy is preferred over the abdominal approach as the latter requires more fitness than the former.
4. Abdominal approach involves dissection in the pelvic cavity which may cause injuries to pelvic nerves resulting in neo constipation, urinary and sexual dysfunction.
5. On the contrary, there is low recurrence rate associated with transanal rectopexy over a medium-to long-term follow-up which is accompanied by significant functional improvements in reported continence and constipation severity.
6. Minimal post-operative pain and quick recovery time.
