Due to the snowstorm impacting our area, some health care operations have changed for the safety of our patients, their loved ones and our team members. View the latest updates here.
Vaginal repair may refer to one of several procedures for addressing the prolapse (or slippage) of various pelvic organs. Cystocele repair (for a slipped bladder), rectocele repair (for a slipped rectum) and enterocele repair (for a vaginal hernia) all fall under this category. They can be performed with the patient under either general anesthesia or a spinal anesthetic, and generally involve pulling the organ back into its normal position, sewing tears in connective tissue back together, and/or placement of a vaginal mesh material to act as a sling that will hold the organs in place. Vaginal vault suspension may be accomplished through the vagina or via abdominal approach – your doctor will discuss which of these is recommended according to your particular condition.
