What is Rectocele Repair (Posterior Colporrhaphy)?

Rectocele repair, also known as posterior colporrhaphy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct prolapsed rectocele, a condition where the rectum bulges into the vaginal wall due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues. This condition, often caused by childbirth, aging, chronic constipation, heavy lifting, or hormonal changes, can lead to pelvic pressure, difficulty with bowel movements, incomplete evacuation, and discomfort during intimacy.

By reinforcing and repositioning the rectovaginal tissue, rectocele repair restores proper support to the vaginal wall and rectum, significantly improving comfort, bowel function, and overall pelvic health.

At Estetik International, our expert surgeons use minimally invasive, tissue-strengthening techniques to provide long-lasting relief and enhanced quality of life.

What are the Advantages of Rectocele Repair?

✔ Restores Vaginal & Rectal Support – Strengthens the posterior vaginal wall, preventing rectal bulging.
✔ Improves Bowel Function – Eases difficulty with bowel movements, straining, and incomplete emptying.
✔ Reduces Pelvic Pressure & Discomfort – Relieves heaviness, vaginal bulging, and rectal fullness.
✔ Enhances Intimate Wellness – Corrects vaginal laxity, improving sensation and confidence during sexual activity.
✔ Prevents Further Prolapse – Strengthens pelvic floor tissues, reducing the risk of recurrent rectocele or related prolapses.
✔ Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery – Uses advanced surgical techniques for faster healing, minimal scarring, and long-term success.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Rectocele Repair?

You may be an ideal candidate for rectocele repair if you:

• Experience difficulty emptying the bowels, straining, or needing manual assistance during bowel movements.
• Feel pressure, bulging, or discomfort in the vaginal or rectal area.
• Experience pelvic floor weakness due to childbirth, menopause, or chronic constipation.
• Have pain or discomfort during intimacy due to vaginal laxity or rectal bulging.
• Have tried pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) but have not seen improvement.
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure.

A consultation with our specialist surgeons at Estetik International will determine whether rectocele repair is the right solution for you.

How is Rectocele Repair Performed?

Pre-Procedure Preparation

• Personalized Consultation – Your concerns, medical history, and symptoms will be discussed with our expert surgeons.
• Pelvic Examination – The severity of the rectocele will be assessed to determine the best treatment approach.
• Customized Surgical Plan – Depending on your condition, natural tissue repair or surgical mesh reinforcement may be recommended.
• Pre-Operative Guidelines – You will receive detailed instructions on medications, bowel preparation, and pre-surgery dietary adjustments.

Day of the Procedure

• Anesthesia Options – The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or regional (spinal) anesthesia to ensure comfort and a pain-free experience.
• Surgical Technique – A small incision is made inside the vaginal wall, allowing access to the weakened rectovaginal tissues.
• Tissue Tightening & Reinforcement – The weakened muscles and connective tissues are tightened and repositioned to restore vaginal and rectal stability.
• Use of Mesh (if necessary) – In some cases, a biocompatible mesh is placed to enhance the durability of the repair and prevent recurrence.
• Suture Closure – The vaginal wall is closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring aesthetic healing with minimal scarring.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild Swelling & Discomfort – Some temporary swelling, pelvic soreness, and mild discomfort may occur but gradually subside within 1-2 weeks.
• Minimal Pain & Downtime – Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications.
• Bowel Function Improvement – Symptoms such as straining and incomplete emptying gradually improve.
• Resuming Activities – Patients can return to normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks, while heavy lifting, straining, and sexual activity should be avoided for 6-8 weeks.
