What Is a Cystocele Repair?

Bladder bulge is part of the posterior wall of the bladder and the triangle of the bladder descending into the vagina, usually caused by birth injury, but also due to congenital insufficiency of pelvic connective tissue or fascia and pelvic floor muscles. Most bladder diseases do not progress and do not cause symptoms. Surgical repair is only required if severe bladder bulge or causes urinary retention and recurrent bladder infections due to incomplete bladder emptying.
