A member asked:
What are treatments/surgery for my rectal prolapse and rectocele? i'm 77.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectocele: Surgery for rectal prolapse is different then surgery for rectocele. Rectocele can be corrected by vaginal approach and can be considered as outpatient procedure. Rectal prolapse needs to be corrected by abdominal approach and can be performed by laparoscopy or robot-assisted.
