Posterior Colporrhaphy in Israel

Gynecologist, reproductive specialist

In what cases is posterior colporrhaphy performed?

The surgery for reconstructing the posterior wall of the vagina (posterior colporrhaphy, POSTERIOR COLPORRHAPHY / POSTERIOR VAGINAL WALL REPAIR) is performed to correct the prolapse of the rectum into the back of the vagina (rectocele, RECTOCELE).

Due to the weakening of the posterior wall of the vagina, it bulges into the vagina, and during straining (for example, during chronic coughing), the rectocele protrudes backward, sometimes so much that it interferes with the emptying of the rectum. Among the main symptoms of rectocele are pain during sexual intercourse and back pain.
