A rectal prolapse will usually need surgical treatment, not laser. There are a number of operations to fix the rectum back on place using sutures or a mesh. These nay be done open or laparoscopically.
Next Steps
Please visit a general surgeon. S/he will examine, and evaluate your father, and may do certain tests like a CT scan or colonoscopy or anorectal manometry to help decide which surgery is suitable
