Vaginal Prolapse Repair

Prolapse repair is a surgical treatment aimed at addressing a prolapse, which occurs when internal organs such as the bladder or bowels shift from their original position due to weakness in the vaginal muscles or ligaments. This condition can arise after childbirth or following a hysterectomy. The surgeon can perform the repair using either an open method or keyhole surgery, depending on the specific case. General anesthesia is typically administered, and the surgeon makes incisions inside the vagina to access and repair the affected areas.

Prolapse repair treatment surgery is recommended to alleviate the symptoms and complications associated with a prolapse. By correcting the weakened vaginal muscles or ligaments, this surgical procedure aims to restore the proper positioning of the internal organs, such as the bladder or bowels. Prolapse repair surgery can provide relief from discomfort, urinary incontinence, and other related issues, allowing individuals to regain their quality of life and overall well-being.

During prolapse repair treatment, the surgeon may need to repair different areas depending on the specific prolapse condition. This can include repairing the front wall involving the bladder (anterior prolapse), the back wall involving the bowels (posterior prolapse), or the vaginal vault where the vaginal walls prolapse to the opening of the vagina. In some cases, a combination of procedures may be required for comprehensive repair. It is important to note that Electiva does not use mesh for repairing vaginal prolapse. Following the surgery, it is advised to avoid lifting heavy objects for four weeks. Stitches used during the procedure are typically dissolvable and do not require removal.

Please note that specific details and recommendations may vary depending on individual circumstances, and it is important to consult with a healthcare professional at Electiva for personalized advice and guidance regarding prolapse repair treatment.

Recovery time after prolapse repair treatment varies, with the procedure typically lasting 1 to 2 hours. Hospital admission is usually 3 to 5 days, ensuring proper post-operative care. Costs range from 4800 to 7200. Patients can anticipate a progressive recovery and guidance for a gradual return to normal activities.
