Reconstructive vaginal surgery

Cystocele, rectocele and uterine prolapse repair, combined where needed with vaginoplasty and perineal repair.

Reconstructive vaginal surgery repairs the supporting tissues of the vagina and pelvic floor when they have weakened, most often after childbirth or at the menopause. It treats genital prolapse - cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse - and can be combined with a vaginoplasty or a perineal repair in the same operation. Each procedure is chosen according to the assessment made in consultation.

Advice

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

FAQ

Can several prolapses be treated in one operation?

Yes, cystocele repair, rectocele repair and uterine prolapse treatment can be carried out in the same operation, depending on the assessment.

Why combine it with a vaginoplasty?

Repairing the vaginal walls and vaginal tightening complement each other: combining them restores both organ support and intimate comfort, in a single operation.

Is urinary leakage treated at the same time?

Not automatically; an assessment clarifies whether a combined procedure for incontinence is needed.
