A member asked:

I'm having stress incontinence and rectocele repair surgery as back to back procedures. what can i expect afterwards. can you explain the procedures?

Incontinence: I would hope that your surgeon might have explained the two procedures to you before you agreed to them? There are several ways to do both procedures so its difficult to assess your anticipated post-op course. I suggest a discussion with the surgeon before your surgery date.

Talk to your surgeon: These are questions you should discuss with your surgeon. They are great questions. But you should not have surgery without asking your own surgeon these questions.

Depends.: There are a variety of procedures that are used to fix both rectocele and stress incontinence. What to expect would depend on which procedure was being performed. It is important for you to understand exactly what is going to happen during your surgery. You need to know risks, benefits and alternatives procedures. You might need to talk to your surgeon to get more specific information.
