In this case, Dr. Berkowitz and Dr. Hudson perform a site-specific posterior colporrhaphy at MGH. The patient is a 38-year-old female who presented with fecal incontinence, constipation, and stress urinary incontinence, and was found to have stage II posterior vaginal wall prolapse. She desired definitive surgical management of her prolapse and opted for posterior vaginal repair.
