Cystocele repair

Anterior colporrhaphy: correcting the descent of the bladder towards the vaginal wall.

Cystocele repair, or anterior colporrhaphy, corrects the descent of the bladder towards the front wall of the vagina by reinforcing the supporting tissue. It aims to restore the anatomy and relieve the pelvic heaviness or urinary discomfort associated with it.

Advice

• Avoid lifting heavy loads and straining during recovery
• Observe the period indicated before resuming intercourse
• Prevent constipation so as not to strain the operated area

FAQ

Does this procedure also treat urinary leakage?

Not automatically: urinary leakage is not always directly linked to the prolapse; an assessment during consultation clarifies whether a combined procedure is needed.

What anaesthetic is used?

Most often regional or general anaesthetic, in the operating theatre; the choice is discussed during consultation according to the situation.
