What happens during a pelvic floor repair or prolapsed uterus repair?

0

Pelvic floor repair surgery can use your own tissue, donor tissue or a synthetic mesh material to support the organs in the pelvis. Doctors sometimes prefer to perform this surgery vaginally because this procedure is associated with less pain. Another possible lower-pain alternative is laparoscopic surgery. With this technique the surgeon uses a very small telescope/camera to examine the inside of your body while you are asleep under a general anesthetic. He or she then makes the necessary repairs via a very small incision, using specialized instruments. If you require a full hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or have other complications, however, you will require full abdominal surgery. Your surgeon can discuss all your options with you and help you make the best decision.
