Recurrent risks?: Risk factors for recurrence in adults include: Straining during bowel movements because of constipation. Tissue damage caused by surgery or childbirth. Weakness of pelvic floor muscles that occurs naturally with age. Ref: www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/rectal-prolapse-topic-overview

Not common: Although recurrent prolapse is possible after surgical repair, it's not very likely . An experienced general surgeon or colorectal surgeon should have a good result, but even rare complications do occur. Good luck.
