The specific weight of genital prolapse among gynecological nosologies in Russia in the departments of operative gynecology ranges from 28 to 38.9% and in the structure of planned indications for surgical treatment ranks third after benign tumors and endometriosis. Aim. Development and implementation of new comprehensive rehabilitation programs for women with IIIII degree rectocele after surgical treatment. Methods. The article presents the treatment data for 100 women of different age groups with IIIII degree rectocele who, in the early postoperative period after plastic surgery for rectocell, used to improve the condition of the vaginal mucosa with general magnetotherapy, electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles, a special complex of physiotherapy exercises and intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative carbon dioxide laser therapy. The patients were divided into 2 groups comparable in terms of clinical and functional characteristics; within each group, depending on age, they were divided into 2 subgroups: women of childbearing age were included in subgroup A, and peri- and menopausal women were included in subgroup B. To assess the condition of the vaginal mucosa and maturity of the vaginal epithelium after surgery in patients included in the study, a pH-metry of the vaginal discharge was performed and the Vaginal Health Index was determined. Results. As a result of the studies, it was found that a more pronounced therapeutic effect was obtained with the use of the complex, which includes a course of general magnetotherapy from the first day after surgery, as well as a month after surgery, a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles and a special complex of physiotherapy exercises and 2 intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative carbon dioxide laser therapy. Conclusion. The obtained results indicate a pronounced therapeutic effect of the complex, which includes a course of General magnetotherapy from the first day after surgery, a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of pelvic floor muscles and a special complex of physical therapy, as well as 2 intravaginal procedures of fractionation microablative therapy with a carbon dioxide laser 1 month after surgery..
