Summary

The provider repairs the vaginal tissues over the weakened spots to support the area and return the bladder and rectum to their correct positions. This is a vaginal approach procedure. The provider may or may not perform cystourethroscopy. Patients need this procedure because they have problems with the bladder prolapsing into the vaginal canal and also into the rectum.
