| A cystocele repair, also called an anterior repair, entails taking tucks in the fascia that supports the bladder to shorten and tighten it. |
| The health-care provider must rule out the presence of a large cystocele, rectocele, or marked uterine prolapse,10 which would reduce the efficacy of the method. |
| The fascial plication effectively relocates the cystocele behind the reconstituted pelvic floor. |
| This repair may be bolstered with absorbable mesh to reduce the cystocele during plication and further strengthen the fascial reapproximation. |
| Parity and obesity were strongly associated with increased risk for uterine prolapse, cystocele, and rectocele. |
| Cystocele and rectocele complicating pregnancy are usually associated with some degree of prolapse. |
