Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have some tissue tumor or cyst on leg.  It will not affect your surgery.  You have rectal prolapse, so you should go for surgery for prolapse.  Don't worry about lump on leg.  If it remains persistently then excision biopsy can be done.  But there is no problem in surgery. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
