Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
More than half of women are affected by female urologic, vaginal, defecatory (bowel-related) and pelvic floor disorders that impact their quality of life. These conditions cause discomfort, incontinence, constipation and sexual dysfunction that can lead to significant effects on your quality of life.
You don’t have to live with the symptoms of pain or discomfort associated with these conditions. The Vanderbilt Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery Team approaches treatment with nonsurgical options, and, when needed, advanced minimally invasive surgery.

- Fallen rectum (rectocele)
