The Need for Rectocele Repair

Vaginal Health Center patient, Abby, chose Dr. James Haley to perform her rectocele repair surgery. Just one month post-surgery, she talks about her excellent experience and sheds light on what prompted her to seek treatment.

“My journey with Dr. Haley began after I underwent a rectocele repair procedure performed by another surgeon, which unfortunately did not yield the desired results, leaving me in considerable discomfort. Additionally, my battle with endometriosis was causing me severe pain.” Abby continued, “Dr. Haley’s approach was marked by patience and attentive listening. His compassionate demeanor instantly struck a chord with me, making it easy to broach even the most sensitive questions that often lurk in one’s mind. He also possesses a wonderful sense of humor!”

Following a thorough physical examination and a candid discussion about her concerns, Dr. Haley introduced the possibility of a perineal repair, or perineoplasty, to be performed concurrently with the rectocele repair. Abby shared, “My trust in Dr. Haley’s expertise led to a unanimous decision to proceed with both procedures, swiftly scheduling the surgery. Throughout the surgical process, Dr. Haley ensured that my husband was kept well-informed. He personally visited me after the surgery and even sent a caring text that night to check on my well-being. This exceptional bedside manner continued to be a cornerstone of my recovery.”

Recovery After Rectocele Repair

“At my first follow-up appointment, Dr. Haley asked about my pain level and hormonal balance, reaffirming his commitment to my well-being.” Abby could sense the genuine care Dr. Haley had for his patients, a stark contrast to her previous surgical experience. Abby expressed gratitude, recalling how her initial surgeon had essentially dismissed her during recovery.

Now, five weeks post-operation, Dr. Haley still closely monitors her progress and is unwavering in his dedication to ensuring a full and complication-free recovery. “He won’t discharge you until he is absolutely certain that everything is in perfect order. Besides the exceptional care I received, I must emphasize that the surgery itself was far less painful than my initial experience. Within a mere couple of weeks, I was able to sit upright and use the restroom without discomfort which was an immense relief. The healing process has been remarkable, and the benefits of the perineal repair are simply astounding. It feels incredibly snug! I’m already extremely impressed with the rectocele repair too. I can’t express my gratitude enough for what Dr. Haley has done for me,” Abby shares.
