Acute spontaneous massive rectal prolapse requiring urgent surgical management is an extremely rare entity. The prolapsed bowel segment may become incarcerated. Progressive edema may then lead to strangulation and gangrene. Ulceration of the exposed mucosa may cause bleeding. The operative management of an acute massive rectal prolapse is discussed in this case report.
