What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair?

The repair of pelvic organ prolapse is a surgical procedure that is designed to repair the deformation of pelvic organs as the supporting tissues get less strong or have been damaged. The procedure involves repositioning of the organs prolapsed, and also strengthening or repairing the pelvic support structures in order to improve function and relieve symptoms. The aim is to improve the patient’s comfort, reduce recurrence and improve your quality of life of those suffering from prolapse-related problems.

This surgical group is assisted by nurses, anesthesiologists and other health experts who offer comprehensive assistance throughout the procedure.

Types of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair Surgery

  • Vaginal repair (Anterior/Posterior repair) : This procedure involves fixing the vaginal walls to treat the anterior (bladder) and the posterior (rectum) prolapse. The procedure is carried out via the vagina, which reduces the need for external incisions, resulting in an earlier recovery.
  • Abdominal Repair : A abdominal approach can be employed to fix prolapse of the uterus, or other pelvic organs. This procedure could include open or laparoscopic surgery, based on the severity that the prolapse.
  • Sacral Colpopexy : A surgical procedure in which mesh is utilized to help support the vaginal vault and return the normal position. This method is commonly employed for prolapses that are more severe and is possible to do laparoscopically.
  • Hysterectomy and Reconstruction of Prolapse : If the uterus is implicated in the prolapse and the uterus is involved, a Hysterectomy (removal from the uterus) could be combined with prolapse repair to deal with both issues at the same time.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair

  • Protrusion or bulge visible within the vaginal area.
  • Pressure on the pelvis or discomfort particularly when standing or working hard.
  • Urinary problems such as frequent urination, leakage or problems with getting the bladder empty.
  • Constipation or difficulty in controlling the bowel movements.
  • Pain during sexual intercourse.
  • A feeling of fullness or weight in the pelvic region.

Diagnosis for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair

The diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse usually involves a thorough medical examination as well as physical examination as well as a pelvic exam. The examination could include physical examination and palpation of pelvic organs to evaluate the severity of prolapse. Other tests, such as Urodynamic studies or imaging could be conducted to assess the function of the bladder and bowel. Based on these assessments your gynecologist will suggest the best surgical procedure to repair prolapse.

Treatment Process

The treatment process starts with a thorough consultation in which surgeons will go over surgical options, advantages as well as potential dangers. The decision on which approach to use will depend on the nature and severity of the prolapse in addition to your general health. The surgery is done under regional or general anesthesia in order to provide comfort. After surgery, patients receive instructions on care, such as the management of pain, restrictions on activity as well as subsequent appointments. The majority of patients will be in the hospital for a short time and then gradually return to their normal routine.

Care and Recovery After Surgery

Post-operative treatment for pelvic organ prolapse repairs involves the management of pain, observing limitations on activity and attending follow-up appointments. Patients might experience discomfort that is usually controlled with medications. The recovery time is dependent on the procedure utilized; vaginal repairs typically are less prone to recovery when compared to abdominal approaches. It is essential to follow the instructions of your surgeon to make sure that the healing process is complete and reduce the chance of complications. The team of care will offer instructions on how to resume regular activities and addressing any post-surgical discomfort.
