The Anesthesia:
At the end of the case, the patient will be brought out of trendelenburg and flattened, and the doctor will briefly (10-15 min) work between the legs. This is the end of the case.
The Surgery:
A colporrhaphy is the repair of a defect in the vaginal wall. This defect has begun to interfere with activities of daily living or it is typically not surgically corrected. An anterior colporrhaphy will be treating a defect due to a cystocele or urethrocele, and a posterior colporrhaphy is reserved for a rectocele.
