prolapse repair
Prolapse repair is a surgical procedure used to correct pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where one or more organs in the pelvis—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—drop from their normal position and press against the vaginal walls.
This can cause discomfort, pressure, and issues with bladder or bowel function. Prolapse repair aims to restore the organs to their proper position and strengthen the pelvic floor.
Prolapse repair can be performed through the vagina or abdomen, depending on the type and severity of the prolapse. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery, are often used to reduce recovery time and discomfort.
During the procedure, the surgeon may use sutures, mesh, or the patient’s own tissue to support and reposition the prolapsed organs. In some cases, a hysterectomy may be performed if the uterus is involved.
Recovery from prolapse repair varies based on the surgical approach and individual factors. Most patients can expect to go home within a day or two after surgery. Common post-operative symptoms include vaginal bleeding, pelvic discomfort, and fatigue.
Full recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, though patients are often encouraged to resume light activities after 1 to 2 weeks. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise during the healing period to prevent strain on the pelvic floor.
As with any surgery, prolapse repair carries some risks. Potential complications include infection, bleeding, injury to nearby organs, and issues with bladder or bowel function.
In rare cases, there may be recurrence of the prolapse or discomfort related to the use of surgical mesh. Discussing your concerns with your consultant and following all pre- and post-operative care instructions can help minimise these risks.
