I am a 53 year old female with 2 vaginal births and have had a hysterectomy. I was just diagnosed with stage 4 vaginal vault prolapse, cystocele and rectocele. The literature I have read up to this point about the da Vinci robotics describe vaginal vault and bladder sling mesh controlled procedures. My surgeon is Elizabeth Geller of UNC teaching hospitals who has done extensive studies on this procedure and submitted several journal articles. I am just concerned about the repair of the tear in the wall of the rectum which will be part of the surgery. I haven't seen this procedure mentioned. Is it a common part of the repair surgery? Does this complicate the surgery if not? Thank you.
