In a period of follow-up ranging from six months to three years at the time of this report, two patients had recurrence.

Colonic procidentia.

Distinguishing clinically between procidentia of the colon and prolapse of only the mucosa may be difficult in some cases. Observation of certain differential features will aid in diagnosis.
