A pessary was placed to treat the event on (b)(6) 2015 and (b)(6) 2015, and was subsequently removed on (b)(6) 2015 and (b)(6) 2015. On (b)(6) 2015, the patient underwent retreatment for prolapse including laparoscopic total hysterectomy, apical vault suspension, rectocele repair, and enterocele repair with xenform graft.
