Rectocele Repair
Surgical repair of a rectocele — bulging of the rectum into the vagina — to relieve obstructed defecation and restore comfortable bowel emptying.
What is Rectocele Repair?
Rectocele Repair is a surgical procedure to correct a rectocele — a bulging of the front of the rectum into the back wall of the vagina, often causing obstructed defecation and the need to digitally support the perineum or vagina to pass stool. The repair can be done transvaginally, transanally, or laparoscopically as part of a ventral mesh rectopexy, depending on size and associated conditions. Dr. Tejasree Vengala, an experienced female proctologist in Hyderabad, performs rectocele repair at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, with sensitivity, precision, and attention to functional outcome.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Examination
Surgery is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia. The pelvic floor and rectocele are fully assessed under anaesthesia.
Approach Selection
The most suitable approach (transvaginal, transanal, or laparoscopic) is chosen based on rectocele size and associated conditions.
Defect Identification
The weakened tissue between the rectum and vagina is precisely identified through the chosen approach.
Repair & Reinforcement
The defect is repaired with sutures, sometimes reinforced with a soft mesh or biologic graft, restoring normal anatomy.
Closure & Recovery
The wound is closed with absorbable sutures. Most patients are discharged in 1–2 days with structured pelvic floor follow-up.
