Core Tip Obstructed defecation syndrome due to internal rectal prolapse requires options beyond resection or mesh rectopexy. Sutured rectal lift is a physiological, mesh-free, sphincter-preserving transanal suspension. This basic study details the anatomic rationale, step-by-step standardization, and bench validation of suture-based lift to restore the rectal axis and compliance. By focusing on Oxford grade II–III prolapse and excluding multicompartmental descent, we provide reproducible technical guidance and implementation pearls that are distinct from the clinical outcomes reported elsewhere. The aim was to enable safe adoption, inform the study design, and avoid data overlap with prior clinical series.
