About Repair of Enterocele

Repair of enterocele, also known as posterior vaginal wall prolapse repair, is a surgical procedure performed by an obstetrician-gynaecologist to correct a hernia-like condition where the small intestine (entero-) pushes down and bulges into the upper part of the vagina. This occurs due to weakened support tissues and muscles in the pelvic floor, often following childbirth, menopause, or chronic straining. The surgery aims to restore normal pelvic anatomy by reinforcing the vaginal wall and the tissue between the vagina and rectum (rectovaginal fascia). It is frequently performed in conjunction with other pelvic organ prolapse repairs, such as for cystocele or rectocele, to provide comprehensive support. The approach can be vaginal, abdominal, or laparoscopic, depending on the patient's specific condition and surgeon's expertise.

Key Highlights

    Effectively corrects the bulge and pressure sensation in the vagina caused by the prolapsed intestine.Restores normal pelvic anatomy and support, improving overall vaginal structure.Can significantly alleviate associated symptoms like pelvic pressure, low backache, and difficulty with bowel movements.Often performed minimally invasively (e.g., laparoscopically) leading to smaller scars and potentially faster recovery.Frequently combined with other prolapse repairs (like cystocele repair) for a more comprehensive solution in a single surgery.Aims to improve quality of life, physical comfort, and sexual function./ul

Who is this surgery for?

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including a detailed pelvic exam, to assess the extent of prolapse.
  • Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, ECG, and possibly imaging studies.
