A purse-string suture prevents rectal prolapse. In this case, two terrapins attacked this terrapin who was introduced into their tank.  

There was traumatic injury to the male organ which was placed back inside the cloaca. The stitch was removed 24 hours later. The terrapin is normal as at Day 3. .
