Relief from Posterior Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Rectocele Repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct a condition in which the rectum bulges into the vaginal canal, often causing discomfort, difficulty with bowel movements, or a feeling of pressure. This condition, known as posterior vaginal prolapse, can impact quality of life, but surgical repair provides an effective solution to restore normal anatomy and function.
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis through the vaginal approach. During surgery, the rectum is carefully repositioned, and the vaginal wall is reinforced with precise sutures to strengthen support and prevent recurrence. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure generally results in minimal discomfort and a smoother recovery compared to more extensive surgical options.
Recovery usually involves avoiding heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and certain exercises for a few weeks to allow proper healing. Most patients gradually return to their regular routines while experiencing relief from symptoms, improved bowel function, and restored comfort during daily activities.
