A member asked:

I'm having a surgery where the dr told me i'm having my rectocele and cystocele fixed, they didnt tell me what the op is called?is it a vaginoplasty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not...: The medical term for this surgery is "Anterior and Posterior Colporrhaphy". You might also hear it called an "Anterior and Posterior Repair", or "A&P Repair". Vaginoplasty usually refers to cosmetic vaginal surgery, sex reassignment surgery or fixing birth defects of the vagina. Best wishes!
