A member asked:
What are common rectocele operation side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends whether mesh: Is used which can be associated with infection, erosion of the mesh or rejection. Also making the sphincter too tight either with or without mesh can cause an outlet obstruction to varying degrees. Discuss this with the surgeon who will perform the surgery before you agree to the procedure.
