Abstract
The rectal prolapse can be classified as internal and external. The internal rectal prolapse can be of the mucosal type (5–10 % of cases) or full thickness. Both types can cause hemorrhoidal prolapse. The internal rectal prolapse may occur as an intussusception or, under straining, can dilate forming also a rectocele or a megarectum.
