Anterior and posterior repair

Anterior and posterior repair are surgical procedures used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, particularly involving the bladder and rectum. Anterior repair focuses on the front wall of the vagina, supporting the bladder to prevent urinary issues. In contrast, posterior repair strengthens the back wall, providing support for the rectum and preventing issues like rectal urgency or bulging. These procedures can help alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life by restoring the pelvic support structures. They are typically performed under anesthesia and may involve various techniques tailored to an individual’s specific condition.
