Rectocele Repair Surgery

Rectocele repair surgery is a medical procedure aimed at fixing a rectocele, which occurs when the rectum bulges into the vaginal wall due to weakened tissues. This condition can cause discomfort, difficulty with bowel movements, and feelings of pressure. During the surgery, a surgeon will repair the vaginal wall and reposition the rectum to restore normal function. It can be done through the vagina or abdomen, depending on the severity of the rectocele. Recovery typically involves rest and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the area and prevent recurrence.
