Özet
Thiersch’s operation is a kind of suture technique to narrow the patulous anus for the treatment of rectal prolapse. It can be applied under local anaesthesia to elderly patients who can not tolerate major surgery. It also can be used as a temporary treatment untill the definitive treatment is planned. We demonstrated a simple way of the Thiersch operation with a video presentation. We also report the follow-up results of the patients who were operated on with this technique.
