For posterior vaginal repair, the use of mesh or graft material does not seem to provide any benefits. [14] Compared to native tissue repair, transvaginal permanent mesh likely reduces the perception of vaginal prolapse sensation, the risk of recurrent prolapse, and of having repeat surgery specifically only for prolapse.
Surgery to the vagina is done to correct congenital defects to the vagina, urethra and rectum. It may correct protrusion of the urinary bladder into the vagina and protrusion of the rectum into the vagina. [1] Often, a vaginoplasty is performed to repair the vagina and its attached structures due to trauma or injury.
In gynecology, a rectocele (/ ˈ r ɛ k t ə s iː l / REK-tə-seel) or posterior vaginal wall prolapse results when the rectum bulges into the vagina. [1] Two common causes of this defect are childbirth and hysterectomy. [2] Rectocele also tends to occur with other forms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as enterocele, sigmoidocele and cystocele. [1]

Uterine prolapse is a form of pelvic organ prolapse in which the uterus and a portion of the upper vagina protrude into the vaginal canal and, in severe cases, through the opening of the vagina. [4] It is most often caused by injury or damage to structures that hold the uterus in place within the pelvic cavity. [ 2 ]
Treatments for mild uterine prolapse include “observation, pelvic floor physical therapy” or using a pessary, a flexible device that goes into the vagina to push up the uterus, explains Eilber.
However, the association between this type of prolapse and vaginal introital laxity is still unclear due to the lack of related data. [2] POP includes (a) the falling out of vagina, bladder and other genito-pelvic structures, (b) vaginal tissue bulging into and through the introitus, or (c) the prolapse of rectal tissues into the vaginal area.
