Anterior colporrhaphy, repair of cystocele with or without repair of urethrocele

AI EXPLANATION: Anterior pelvic organ prolapse repair, clinically known as anterior colporrhaphy or cystocele repair, is a surgical procedure to strengthen and rebuild the front wall of the vagina. When pelvic floor tissues and muscles stretch or weaken, the bladder or urethra can sag downward, bulging into the vaginal canal. During the procedure, the surgeon repositions the shifted organs and tightens the supportive connective tissue with stitches to restore normal anatomy and relieve pelvic pressure.
