So sorry to hear this, at which hospital did you have this procedure?

Have you heard about the Neuman procedure ( Tel Aviv/ USA hospitals) for re-prolapses, although not sure if this would be possible to have as you may have too much scar tissue now but it is gentler

than conservative native tissue repairs , and only works for up to stage 2 prolapses as well.

It would be interesting and helpful to know the name of the hospital that failed you in this prolapse surgery.

Hello and thank you for your reply, Howard Goldstien out of Christian DE is the name of the Dr. and I'm not real sure if it was something he did or didn't do correctly..I think it was how I healed but I will say this I would not recommend him only du2 the fact I have been 1and 1@ year out of surgery and have seen him 8 or more times after with complaints of the feeling of sitting on a ball and pain and he was not very helpful to find out why no testing was orded by him I had to find other dr.'s to do this however I have a new uro/gyn in Pa and will talk with him this coming week...I haven't re prolapsed the scar tissue is interfering with the nerve function so we have to undo the surgery????
