More About Prolapse

Types, Repair Approaches, & General Treatment

Types Of Prolapse

  1. Cystocele - This is prolapse of the bladder and often requires manually pushing the bladder back in the vagina to urinate or empty completely. Symptoms include pelvic pressure, frequency, urgency, and incomplete emptying.
  2. Rectocele - This is prolapse of the rectum, most often associated with constipation. This bulge will occur during straining especialyl with bowel movements.
  3. Enterocele - This is portrusion of bowel contents through the vaginal wall.

General Treatment Options

  1. Lifestyle Changes - Lifestyle changes include a plant based diet, water (avoid coffee, tea, and soda), stress reduction (yoga and meditation), sleep improvement (treat sleep apnea and monitor REM sleep), exercise modification and weight loss.
  2. Medications - Medications such as estrogen or progesterone are sometimes used to help increase the strength of tissues prior to surgery.
  3. Surgery - Surgery is generally performed laparoscopically, robotically, or vaginally. Generally open surgery is not needed for over 95% of patients.

Repair Options

  1. Vaginal (Anterior Colporrhaphy, Sacrospinous Ligament Fixation) - A vaginal approach for prolapse repair is done without the use of mesh. This is the least invasive way to repair prolapse.
  2. Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy - Small holes are made in the abdomen and instruments are used to fix the vagina to the sacrum bone with mesh. You are sent home the same day. This is highly effective with great outcomes.
  3. Robotic Sacrocolpopexy - Small holes are made in the abdomen and robotic instruments are used to fix the vagina to the sacrum bone with mesh. You are sent home the same day. This is highly effective with great outcomes. The robot is controlled by our expert surgeons.

Advanced Techniques (Better Outcomes and Less Side Effects)

Advanced technology provides the best outcomes with minimal side effects. We utilize Advanced technology with 3-D spatial mapping to precisely kill kidney cancer. This targeted millimeter accuracy improves outcomes and minimizes side effects such as renal function loss. Our goal is to give you cancer free survival with the best quality of life.

Mesh & Non Mesh Repairs

One of the most effective ways to treat severe prolapse is the use of mesh placed through a robotic or laparoscopic approach. This is very safe, effective, and has incredibly high cure rates over 10 years time. The American Urologic Association and Society for Female Urology support the use of mesh.

We can perform non mesh repairs when needed. These repairs are done by our expert surgeons in our surgery center generally through a vaginal approach. This means there is no incision in the abdomen.
