A surgical treatment called Posterior Repair in Riyadh, Jeddah & Saudi Arabia replaces weaker or damaged tissues in the posterior (rear) vaginal wall. It is also referred to as posterior colporrhaphy or posterior vaginal wall repair. Vaginal prolapse, a condition in which the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, may sag or protrude into the vaginal canal as a result of weak or strained pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, is a common indication for this kind of surgery in female patients.
Causes of Posterior Damage:
- Pelvic organs may droop into the vaginal canal as a result of weakening pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, which is frequently brought on by circumstances including childbirth, aging, and heredity.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is one of several diseases that can damage pelvic tissues.
- The pelvic floor tissues may become stretched and harmed during vaginal birth, which might result in prolapse.
- Pelvic floor muscles might deteriorate due to conditions like COPD that cause chronic coughing.
- Age-related declines in estrogen levels can weaken the muscles and tissues of the vagina, raising the risk of prolapse.
- Hysterectomy and other pelvic procedures in the past may have disrupted pelvic organ support.
- Over time, pelvic floor muscles might get weaker from straining during bowel movements.
- Weight gain can put pressure on the pelvic floor and exacerbate weakness.
Ideal Candidate:
- demonstrates signs of a rectocele, such as difficulties passing stool, incomplete bowel movements, or the need for physical assistance with bowel movements.
- is in generally excellent health and does not have any untreated medical issues that might raise the risks of surgery.
- has tried conservative therapies (such as pelvic floor exercises or dietary adjustments), but the alleviation was insufficient.
- has realistic expectations for the outcomes and has a realistic understanding of the technique, its advantages, and probable outcomes.
Pre Procedure:
- full medical examination to determine your readiness for surgery and general health.
- We’ll go through your medical background, prescriptions, allergies, and any existing ailments.
- Your health may be assessed using blood tests, urine tests, and maybe imaging (such as ultrasound).
- Before the procedure, you’ll probably be told to fast (avoid food and liquids) for a predetermined amount of time.
Procedure:
Making an incision close to the posterior wall of the vaginal wall, the tissues supporting the organs are strengthened and tightened. This can help relieve the symptoms of vaginal prolapse, such as pain, urine or bowel problems, and sexual dysfunction, and return the pelvic organs to their proper anatomical position. The surgeon might carry out the following actions during a posterior repair procedure:
- Incision: To reach the weaker tissues, a surgical incision is created in the vaginal wall.
- Tissue Repair: The posterior vaginal wall’s connective tissues, muscles, and ligaments are then repaired and tightened by the surgeon, strengthening the support for the pelvic organs.
- Suturing: The incision is closed using sutures (stitches), which also hold the tissues that have been healed in place.
- Recovery: The patient will require some time to recuperate after the treatment. Typically, during the early healing phase, this entails abstaining from heavy lifting and intense activity.
Aftercare:
- Rest: To help with recovery, you’ll first need to get a lot of rest.
- Continue taking the recommended painkillers as instructed for pain control.
- Diet: Begin by consuming just clear liquids and work your way up to a regular diet as tolerated.
- Keeping the surgery area tidy and dry is good hygiene. After using the restroom, gently pat the genital area dry and clean it with a peri-bottle.
- To avoid straining during bowel movements, laxatives or stool softeners may be advised.
- For the period prescribed by your surgeon (often 6 to 8 weeks), refrain from intense activities, heavy lifting, and sexual activity.
- Observe any food restrictions or exercise limits that your surgeon has prescribed.

- Reduces pain, incomplete bowel movements, and the need for manual help during bowel movements.
