Anterior and Posterior Repair Procedure
Anterior and posterior repair, also known as Colporrhaphy, are two surgical procedures recommended for patients who suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. Anterior repair involves reinforcing the front wall of the vagina, whereas posterior repair involves repairing the back wall of the vagina. Patients may consider treatment for pelvic prolapse if they suffer from urinary incontinence, pelvic pressure or pain, or difficulty with bowel movements.

When is This Procedure Necessary?
Anterior and posterior repair is considered medically necessary for patients who suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. Anterior and posterior repair is recommended for patients with vaginal wall prolapse over the rectum and bladder. If conservative therapies including pelvic floor exercises are ineffective, patients may consider anterior and posterior repair surgery.

What To Expect
Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. This procedure is performed in two steps. First, the surgeon will make an incision into the vagina to put the bladder back into place before reinforcing it with mesh and stitches. Next, 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 goals of the procedure have 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.
