Advances in Rectal Prolapse Surgery: Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik's Insights

KOLKATA, India - June 14, 2025 - PRLog -- Rectal prolapse is a condition where the rectum (the last portion of the large intestine) loses its attachments, causing it to slip through the anus. There has been a growing prevalence in the number of rectal prolapse cases, making patient awareness, early diagnosis and precision care more important.

Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik, a leading surgeon, has been at the forefront of performing rectal prolapse surgery over the years. With expertise in minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Bhowmik is transforming the way the condition is treated.

"My biggest challenge in treating rectal prolapse is helping the patients identify the condition early. Often misdiagnosed as piles, too many patients delay seeking consultation due to embarrassment," says Dr. Bhowmik.

However, advances in rectal prolapse surgery have helped patients to a great extent to relieve their symptoms. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures have resulted in shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times and even improved patient outcomes.

These advancement techniques provide long-lasting relief to the patients without any post-operative complications, pain or bleeding. Moreover, they even reinforce the rectal wall without any major changes in the bowel movements.

" Modern surgical interventions have changed everything. A few years ago, when patients would take 3-4 months to recover, they are now discharged from the hospital within 48-72 hours and can even resume their daily activities within weeks, " Dr. Bhowmik further adds.

The current approaches for rectal prolapse surgery not only focus on repairing the condition but also minimise recurrence and enhance the overall quality of life for patients.

Dr. Bhowmik believes in educating the patients about the condition. By explaining the symptoms, treatment and recovery process, patients can take a proactive approach towards their health and receive the care that they need.

According to this opinion, a well-informed patient is likely to seek timely care and adhere to post-operative guidelines for better outcomes.

As rectal prolapse is becoming quite common, there is a dire need for skilled doctors with knowledge and expertise in advanced treatment procedures.

Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik's contributions are not only transforming the lives of the patients but also setting a new standard in rectal prolapse surgery.
