    Concomitant pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and rectal prolapse (RP) is rare, affecting 2.0% of POP patients and often overlooked in clinical practice.

  • 2

    A 76-year-old female underwent transvaginal mesh (TVM) pelvic floor reconstruction for severe POP and RP, achieving favorable outcomes at 18 months.

  • 3

    The modified TVM technique involved assembling TiLOOP mesh for anterior rectal wall fixation during pelvic floor reconstruction.

  • 4

    No recurrence or mesh-related complications were reported at the 18-month follow-up, suggesting the procedure's potential efficacy.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further research to validate the effectiveness of combined TVM pelvic floor reconstruction and rectopexy.
