Overview

Uterovaginal prolapse occurs when the uterus descends into or outside the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and supporting ligaments. This condition can cause discomfort, urinary problems, and affect quality of life.

Uterovaginal prolapse surgery is performed to restore normal anatomy, strengthen pelvic support, and relieve symptoms while improving overall well-being. At our clinic, we offer advanced surgical techniques, tailored to each patient, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and faster recovery.

Why Surgery is Needed

Surgery is usually recommended when conservative treatments like pelvic floor exercises or pessaries are insufficient. Common indications include:

• Severe prolapse causing the uterus to descend outside the vagina.

• Urinary incontinence or difficulty controlling urine.

• Pelvic pressure or pain affecting daily activities.

• Recurrent urinary infections due to prolapse.

• Impact on sexual activity or overall quality of life.

Types of Uterovaginal Prolapse Surgery

1. Vaginal Hysterectomy with Pelvic Floor Repair

   • Removal of the uterus if prolapse is severe.

   • Pelvic floor muscles and ligaments are repaired to restore support.

2. Uterine Suspension / Uterine Preservation Surgery

   • Restores the uterus to its normal position without removing it.

   • Techniques include sacrospinous fixation or sacrohysteropexy.

3. Anterior/Posterior Vaginal Wall Repair (Colporrhaphy)

   • Repairs bladder (cystocele) or rectal (rectocele) prolapse associated with uterovaginal prolapse.

   • Strengthens vaginal walls and supporting tissues.

4. Minimally Invasive / Laparoscopic Prolapse Surgery

   • Uses small incisions and laparoscopic instruments for faster recovery.

   • Can include mesh or native tissue repair depending on individual needs.

How the Procedure is Done

1. Preparation

   • Preoperative evaluation including pelvic examination and imaging.

   • General or regional anesthesia is administered.

2. Surgical Steps

   • The prolapsed uterus or vaginal walls are repaired using appropriate technique.

   • Ligaments and pelvic floor muscles are strengthened.

   • In some cases, the uterus is preserved; in others, it may be removed for optimal outcomes.

3. Duration

   • Typically 1–3 hours, depending on the type and complexity of surgery.

Recovery After Surgery

• Hospital stay ranges from 1–3 days depending on procedure type.

• Mild pain, swelling, or discomfort is expected initially.

• Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks.

• Pelvic floor exercises are recommended post-recovery to maintain support.

• Regular follow-up ensures healing and long-term success.
