Pelvic plastic surgery is a surgical procedure that addresses weakened pelvic muscles and ligaments after childbirth, vaginal surgeries or trauma and can improve a woman’s quality of life. It can also help alleviate conditions that aren’t related to pregnancy or childbirth such as urinary incontinence and fistulas (abnormal connections between the bladder, uterus and urethra). 골반필러
The pelvic floor undergoes a lot of stress during pregnancy when it stretches and lengthens to accommodate a growing baby. Then during labor and delivery, this muscle continues to experience strain and stretching that weakens it even more. Other causes of weakened pelvic muscles include chronic constipation, untreated asthma and heavy and prolonged straining movements. This can lead to prolapsed organs such as the rectum, vulva and bladder. A hereditary tendency to prolapse can also play a role in some women.
Several different surgical treatments exist for the various forms of pelvic prolapse. Most of these involve suspending the top portion of the vagina to a woman’s own natural ligament support structure. This is called a uterosacral or sacrospinous ligament fixation. Some surgeons add graft reinforcement to these natural ligament suspensions in an attempt to improve outcomes and reduce complications.
Another common surgical treatment for pelvic prolapse is a simple repair with mesh placed within the vagina. This is called a covid-ectopic mesh repair and can be used to correct the front or back wall of the vagina. This procedure is performed under a local or general anesthetic. Patients typically make a quick recovery. It is important for women to refrain from more vigorous activity and sexual intercourse in the first six weeks following surgery.
A cystocele repair tightens the front of the vagina to correct a bulging or sinking of this area. Similarly, we perform an anterior repair to address prolapsed tissue in the rectum. Both these procedures can be done under a local or general anesthetic.
In addition, we can use a variety of surgical techniques and materials to treat vaginal prolapse and other pelvic floor problems. Traditionally, these surgeries are performed through a large incision in the abdomen called an open approach. However, we now offer minimally invasive surgical options including robotic surgery and vaginal repair using implantable mesh.닥터케빈의원
Robotic surgery has many benefits, including less pain and a faster recovery. With these newer methods of surgery, we are able to repair pelvic prolapse in a smaller incision. This reduces your risk of infection, requires less blood loss and shortens the hospital stay.
