Dear sunnysan,

Thanks for writing in.

Rectocele is the descent of the rectum and the surrounding tissues. Rectal prolapse is also a stage in  rectocele itself.

Abdominal laparoscopic rectopexy is a well established treatment and it shall provide you relief from prolapse as well as rectocele.

Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
