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).

- 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.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
