Popis: Strangulation of an acute rectal prolapse is a rather unusual entity that represents a surgical emergency. We describe an extremely rare case of recurred, incarcerated, and strangulated acute rectal prolapse. The patient underwent emergency perineal rectosigmoidectomy (the Altemeier operation). The postoperative course was uncomplicated with an excellent final result.
