When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce stress urinary incontinence. [13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...
A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
Another way of categorizing surgery for prolapse of pelvic organs is suspensive or resective (involving removal of sections of the bowel wall).

Surgery is most often successful for people who still have some control over their bowel movements.

After putting the prolapsed organs back to its original position and reinforcing the vaginal wall, the incision is closed with sutures. [5] Transvaginal mesh surgery is expected to show improved pelvic support after the first few weeks, particularly for non-absorbable meshes which have a higher biocompatibility and permanent outcome.
