You could try: a pexy, or suture anchoring, procedure. This may not give you long term results but no mesh involved.

It is possible: It is possible to repair bladder and bowel prolapses without the mesh, however the duration of the repair will be dependent on the tensile strength of the suture that is used. So many younger surgeons were trained using the mesh that you might have to find a older more experienced surgeon to do a repair in that fashion without the mesh. Also ask the MD what is his/her failure rates with the repair

Yes: Bowel prolapse is best treated by Low anterior colon resection. Bladder can be treated with a Fascae Lata sling taken from the lateral thigh

Talk to urologist: You will want to talk with a urologist or your gynecologist for information on your personal options. In general, there will likely be several approaches. And it's you personal situation that counts here - not the experience of someone else! (And certainly not the 1-800-"attorney" line!) Good luck. LGromkoMD
