rectocele/intussusception
by tinker47, May 06, 2008 09:33PM
I am wondering if you can help me sort this out. I had a TVH , and later a cystocele and rectocele repair. That was 2 years ago. I am having pelvic pressure and pain, especially rectally. I had a defecogram done, and it said rectocele with internal intussusception. I was sent to a colon and rectal surgeon. He said resection and rectopexy. I went to two other colon and rectal surgeons, and they reviewed the film and did not see hardly any intussusception. So I went to the uro gyn that did my rectocele repair. He seems to think I need my vagina pulled up, sacral colpopexy. And then repair the rectocele vaginally. My question is will this pull up my rectum as well? Can this fix the intussusception? I really want this to be my last surgery. Can the uro gyn pull up the rectum as well? I do have incomplete evacuation after having a bowel movement. I am seeing a physical therapist too, at the request of one of the colon and rectal surgeons. I mean I feel like my intestines are falling out. Any advice? thank you for listening.
