About Uterine Prolapse Surgery

Laparoscopic uterine prolapse surgery is a minimally invasive procedure to correct a prolapsed uterus, where the uterus descends into or beyond the vaginal canal. Using small abdominal incisions, a surgeon inserts a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and specialized instruments to gently reposition the uterus to its normal anatomical position. The procedure often involves reinforcing pelvic floor support using the patient's own tissues or a synthetic mesh. This advanced technique offers significant advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery, making it a preferred option for restoring pelvic organ support and alleviating associated symptoms like pelvic pressure and urinary incontinence.

Key Highlights

    Minimally Invasive: Performed through several small keyhole incisions instead of one large abdominal cut.Reduced Pain & Scarring: Results in significantly less post-operative pain and minimal, barely visible scars.Shorter Hospital Stay: Typically allows for discharge within 1-2 days.listrongFaster Recovery:/strong Patients often return to normal activities and work much quicker than with open surgery./lilistrongEnhanced Precision:/strong The laparoscopic camera provides a magnified, high-definition view for greater surgical accuracy./lilistrongLower Risk of Infection:/strong Smaller incisions reduce the risk of wound-related complications./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Symptomatic uterine prolapse (feeling of a bulge or pressure in the vagina).
  • Prolapse causing urinary problems like incontinence, frequency, or retention.
  • Difficulty with bowel movements due to rectal protrusion (rectocele).
  • Chronic pelvic pain or lower backache attributed to the prolapse.
  • Sexual dysfunction or discomfort related to the prolapsed organs.
  • Failure to improve with conservative management like pelvic floor physiotherapy or pessary use.
  • Ulceration or bleeding of the protruding vaginal tissues.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including pelvic exam and possibly imaging (ultrasound/MRI).
  • Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners.
  • Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, ECG, and a chest X-ray.
  • Maintain a clear liquid diet and complete bowel preparation as instructed the day before surgery.
  • Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours prior to the procedure.
  • Arrange for transportation and post-operative support at home for the initial recovery days.

Risks & possible complications

  • General anesthesia risks (reaction to medication, breathing problems).
  • Bleeding during or after the procedure.
  • Infection at the incision sites or within the pelvis.
  • Injury to surrounding organs (bladder, bowel, ureters, blood vessels).
  • Formation of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
  • Risks associated with mesh if used, including erosion, pain, or infection.
  • Recurrence of the prolapse or development of new pelvic floor issues.
  • Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital Stay: Typically 1-2 days for monitoring and pain management.
  • Initial Rest: Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kgs), strenuous exercise, and driving for 2-3 weeks.
  • Wound Care: Keep small incision sites clean and dry; watch for signs of infection.
  • Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain is common and managed with prescribed medications.
  • Activity Graduation: Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery; gradually increase activity as tolerated.
  • Follow-up: Attend all scheduled post-operative appointments to monitor healing.
  • Long-term: Continue with pelvic floor exercises as recommended to support the repair.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-4 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Angel Khan, a 62-year-old retired school...

Angel Khan, a 62-year-old retired school teacher and mother of three, had noticed a persistent feeling of heaviness and a visible bulge in her vaginal area for over two years. Her symptoms began after decades of physically demanding work and following a natural childbirth history. Simple activities like walking to the market or standing to cook caused significant discomfort and a dragging sensation. She often felt a lump, which she could sometimes push back in, and experienced occasional stress urinary incontinence. Her local GP referred her to a laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, who diagnosed a Stage III uterine prolapse. Dr. Sharma recommended a laparoscopic hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy, explaining that the minimally invasive approach would use small incisions, leading to less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery. Angel was very anxious about surgery at her age but trusted her doctor. The procedure went smoothly. Post-surgery, she experienced some shoulder-tip pain from the gas used in laparoscopy and manageable abdominal discomfort. Within a week, the dragging sensation was gone. After six weeks of careful recovery, she could walk and garden without pain or the fear of the bulge returning. Emotionally, Angel moved from feeling embarrassed and 'broken' to reclaiming her active life. She felt a profound sense of relief and freedom, no longer planning her days around her discomfort.
