Clinics in Gastroenterology, 1975
There are two schools of thought concerning the aetiology of rectal prolapse. On the one hand it was conceived to be a sliding hernia through a defect in the pelvic fascia, while on the other hand radiological studies have demonstrated prolapse to be represented by an intussusception of the rectum.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1985
Rectal prolapse occurs mostly in the geriatric female patient and can be a very disabling condition. The etiology is intussusception of the rectosigmoid secondary to excessive and prolonged straining. Medical therapy for this disease process is not helpful and patients will require a surgical procedure.
