Posterior Repair Procedure
Posterior repair is a surgical procedure that treats anterior vaginal prolapse over the rectum. Posterior prolapse may occur if the tissue dividing the vagina from the rectum weakens. This weakness can cause the rectum to push on the vagina, causing pain and discomfort. Posterior repair strengthens and tightens the tissue supporting the rectum which prevents prolapse from occuring.

When is This Procedure Necessary?
Posterior repair is considered medically necessary for patients who suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. After diagnosis, patients are encouraged to try pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the posterior vaginal wall. If this therapy is ineffective, patients may be recommended for posterior repair surgery.
What To Expect
Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision in the posterior wall before moving the bladder to the correct location, and then reinforcing it using stitches. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close any incisions and the patient will be monitored as they are removed from anesthesia.
Patients may experience discomfort, pain, and swelling in the pelvic area, which can be managed through prescribed pain medication and pelvic floor exercises. It is essential for patients to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities during the recovery period to allow the surgical site to heal properly. Patients should report any irregular symptoms to their doctor.
