What is cure for solitary rectal ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated: Solitary rectal ulcer is in the spectrum of rectal prolapse. Most surgical therapy is first directed at ensuring that any abnormality is not a cancer, especially if associated with a mass. Some have tried topical steroids. At times, surgical resection has been used, when clear prolapse is noted. High recurrence rate.
