Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (e.g., feeling of pressure, bulge, or heaviness in the vagina).
- Stress urinary incontinence that has not responded to conservative treatments like pelvic floor therapy.
- Cystocele (prolapsed bladder) or rectocele (prolapsed rectum).
- Uterine prolapse (though hysterectomy may be part of the procedure).
- Recurrent prolapse after a previous repair surgery.
- Significant impact on quality of life, affecting physical activity, sexual function, or bladder/bowel control.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including urodynamic testing and imaging.
- Discuss all current medications with your urologist; you may need to stop blood thinners.
- Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, ECG, and possibly a chest X-ray.
- Follow specific fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).
- Use a prescribed bowel preparation or enema to empty the intestines.
- Arrange for transportation home and for help during the initial recovery period.
- Stop smoking, as it can impair healing and increase surgical risks.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, or infection.
- Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder, bowel, blood vessels, or nerves.
- Difficulty urinating, potentially requiring a temporary catheter.
- Recurrence of the prolapse or incontinence over time.
- Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).
- Risks specific to mesh use: Erosion into the vagina, pain, or infection (mesh use is now highly selective).
- Formation of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
- Need for additional surgery to address complications.

Navya Gupta, a 58-year-old retired school...
Navya Gupta, a 58-year-old retired school principal and mother of two, had a history of two vaginal deliveries. For the past five years, she had been struggling with a persistent feeling of pelvic pressure and a visible bulge at her vaginal opening, especially at the end of the day. Simple activities like walking her dog or standing to cook became uncomfortable. She also experienced frequent urinary urgency and occasional leakage when she coughed or laughed, which deeply embarrassed her and caused her to withdraw from social gatherings. Her urologist, after a thorough examination, diagnosed her with a significant cystocele (bladder prolapse) and recommended a Laparoscopic Pelvic Floor Repair. The doctor explained that the minimally invasive approach would use small incisions to reinforce the weakened pelvic tissues with mesh, offering less pain and a quicker recovery than open surgery. Navya was very anxious about surgery but trusted her doctor. The procedure went smoothly. Her recovery at home involved managing some abdominal discomfort with medication and avoiding heavy lifting for six weeks. Within three months, the dragging pressure was gone, and her bladder control was vastly improved. Emotionally, Navya moved from a state of silent suffering and social isolation to one of profound relief and regained confidence. She felt like she had her body back and could enjoy her retirement actively and without fear.
