How is recovery for a 90 year old after bladder surgery?

Has anyone had experience with surgery for bladder prolapse for a woman in their 90’s. Is called Colpocleisis. I’m wondering how recovery went.

As a retired RN I can tell you that an individual's story and outcome, prognosis, is as individual as his or her own fingerprint. Much depends upon overall condition and reactions to anesthesia, because anesthesia alone could be a problem. Much depends also on the procedure and how it is done. Some are quite non-invasive now, or rather less non invasive. Is this the bladder that is prolapsed or the uterus?
