Cystocele repair
Commonly referred to as a "bladder tack " a cystocele repair is a variety of procedures that are used to fix a prolapsed or dropping bladder. Typically sutures are used to repair the damaged supportive tissue between the bladder and the vagina. Sometimes a graft is used to reinforce this repair. The surgery can be performed through a vaginal or laparoscopic approach.
