Surgery to correct the rectocele may involve the reattachment of the muscles that previously supported the pelvic floor. [1] Another procedure is posterior colporrhaphy, which involves suturing of vaginal tissue. Surgery may also involve insertion of a supporting mesh (that is, a patch). [8]
The laparoscopic approach is safer than open surgery, [4] and there is less risk of complications after the procedure. [24] There is also less blood loss, less pain after the procedure, shorter average length of stay in hospital and faster recovery. [8] [24] Rarely, the procedure must be converted into an open abdominal surgery. [7]
Cul-de-sac hernias are the most difficult to diagnose during physical examination, and to distinguish from anterior rectocele or enterocele. [2] Furthermore, rectocele and cul-de-sac hernia may occur together. [3] Combined vaginal and rectal digital palpation may be used (examiner's thumb in vagina, index finger in anal canal). [11]

It is the surgical intervention for both cystocele (protrusion of the urinary bladder into the vagina) and rectocele (protrusion of the rectum into the vagina). [citation needed] The repair may be to either or both of the anterior (front) or posterior (rear) vaginal walls, thus the origin of some of its alternative names. [1] [2] [3]
Perineoplasty (also perineorrhaphy) denotes the plastic surgery procedures used to correct clinical conditions (damage, defect, deformity) of the vagina and the anus. [1] [2] [3] Among the vagino-anal conditions resolved by perineoplasty are vaginal looseness, vaginal itching, damaged perineum, fecal incontinence, genital warts, dyspareunia, vaginal stenosis, vaginismus, vulvar vestibulitis ...

When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce stress urinary incontinence. [13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...
