Who Can Perform A Rectal Prolapse Surgery?

Is there a surgeon that will travel to Fort Smith, Arkansas to treat a 93-year old lady for rectal prolapse surgery? Otherwise, she is in relatively good health, mentally and physically. We understand that none of the colorectal surgeons in Fort Smith do not perform this type surgery.



Thank you for any information you may have.
