تعريف
A cystocele occurs when part of the bladder wall bulges into the vagina. The bulge happens through a defect in the wall between the bladder and vagina.
A rectocele occurs when part of the wall of the rectum bulges into the vagina. The bulge happens through a defect in the wall between the rectum and vagina.
These form because of a problem with the fascia, ligaments, and muscles of the pelvis.
أسباب هذا الإجراء
Cystocele and rectocele can cause problems going to the bathroom, urine leakage, or pain during sex. This surgery is done to help relieve these symptoms.
Most often, this type of surgery is not done until all other treatments have been tried. Other treatments may include muscle exercises and the insertion of a pessary device (a supportive ring). If you have tried these treatments and have had no relief, your doctor may suggest surgical repair.

قبل الإجراء
- تحدث إلى طبيبك عن أدويتك الحالية. قد تحتاج بعض الأدوية إلى التوقف قبل الإجراء ، مثل:

- Blood-thinning drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
- Eat a light meal the evening before the surgery.
- Do not have anything to eat or drink after midnight on the night before the procedure.
- If you are having a rectocele repair, you may need to have an enema the night before the surgery.
التخدير
You will often have your choice of either general or regional anesthesia. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep. Regional anesthesia will numb your lower body, but you will be awake.
وصف الإجراء
You may be given an antibiotic just before surgery. A bladder catheter will be inserted in the urethra. This will allow urine to drain and decrease pressure on the bladder.
A cut will be made in the skin to expose the involved muscle and tissue. In some cases, the muscles and tissue will be sewn back onto itself. This will make it stronger. In other cases, a mesh-type material will be used to strengthen the tissue. Any tissue that has been weakened by previous surgeries, pregnancies, or age will be removed. Excess vaginal lining will be removed as well.
In some cases, a suspension or elevation procedure may be done. These are special sutures that provide extra support to the bladder.
