“How long is the hospital stay for rectal prolapse surgery?”
I am anxious about staying in the hospital after surgery. How long is the hospital stay for rectal prolapse surgery?

This depends on the type of procedure you have, but in general 1-3 nights is typical. Your surgeon will want to make sure your colon and rectum function well before you leave the hospital, and that you don't suffer any complications.
Depends on the approach taken – no way I can answer this without knowing the surgical approach

Dear patient,
It depends on the operation being done and severity of the prolapse as well as preexisting conditions you may have. In my experience it’s usually just an overnight observation. Good luck!

1-5 days if all goes well.
