STARR Procedure

STARR stands for Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection.

• Used to treat internal rectal prolapse and rectocele
  
• Performed entirely through the anus—no external cuts
  
• Excess rectal tissue is removed using a circular stapling device
  
• Restores normal rectal anatomy and bowel mechanics
  
• Improves evacuation efficiency and reduces straining
  

This is not old-school surgery. It’s anatomy-correcting, precision-driven, and outcome-focused.

You may be a candidate if you experience:

• Chronic constipation despite medication
  
• Incomplete bowel evacuation
  
• Excessive straining during defecation
  
• Persistent feeling of rectal blockage or heaviness
  
• Dependence on enemas or digital assistance
  

When conservative treatments fail, STARR Procedure in Chennai becomes the logical next step.

Anal mucosal prolapse occurs when the inner lining of the rectum slips downward during bowel movements.

• Causes a sensation of obstruction or incomplete evacuation
  
• Often worsens with chronic straining
  
• Contributes to obstructed defecation syndrome
  

The STARR procedure removes the prolapsing tissue and restores normal rectal alignment, directly addressing the problem—not just the symptoms.

Internal rectal prolapse is a key driver of ODS.

• The rectum folds inward during defecation
  
• Leads to functional blockage
  
• Results in chronic constipation and excessive straining
  

STARR Procedure in Chennai corrects this internal prolapse by resecting redundant tissue and reshaping the rectum for smoother bowel movements.

ODS-related constipation is mechanical, not dietary.

• Laxatives often fail or worsen symptoms
  
• Patients feel the urge but cannot evacuate fully
  
• Long-term straining damages pelvic floor function
  

STARR targets the anatomical obstruction, offering durable relief when lifestyle changes alone don’t work.

• Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS)
  
• Internal rectal prolapse
  
• Rectocele
  
• Anal mucosal prolapse
  

Functional outlet obstruction

• Minimally invasive with no external scars
  
• Short operating time—usually under one hour
  
• Less post-operative pain than traditional surgery
  
• Faster recovery and early return to daily life
  
• Treats the cause, not just the symptoms
  

This is why STARR Procedure in Chennai is gaining rapid acceptance among both specialists and patients.

• Detailed pre-operative evaluation (imaging and manometry)
  
• Spinal or general anesthesia
  
• Circular stapler introduced trans-anally
  
• Excess prolapsing rectal tissue resected
  
• Stapling restores rectal shape and function
• Minimal blood loss and no external wounds

• Hospital stay: 1–2 days
  
• Mild discomfort for a few days
