Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic enterocele causing a noticeable vaginal bulge, pressure, or a feeling of something falling out.
- Chronic pelvic pressure or a dragging sensation, especially after long periods of standing.

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.
- Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days before.
- Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated in the days leading up to surgery.
- Follow specific bowel preparation instructions if provided, which may include a clear liquid diet and laxatives.
- Arrange for transportation home after discharge and for help at home during the initial recovery period.
- Fast (no food or drink) for the recommended period (typically 8-12 hours) before the scheduled surgery time.
