What Is Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery?
The purpose of the pelvic floor's muscles, ligaments, nerves, and connective
tissue is to hold the organs within the pelvic region (bladder, vagina,
uterus, small bowel, and rectum) in place. However, as pelvic muscles
weaken, it can result in the organs dropping from their normal position,
also known as prolapse. Pelvic reconstructive surgery, also referred to
as pelvic floor reconstruction, is designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse
(POP). While POP is not considered a life-threatening condition, except
in rare cases, it can cause extreme discomfort or pain, sexual dysfunction,
and urinary incontinence, which can hinder a woman's quality of life
and comfortability.
Pelvic floor reconstruction treats POP and restores the pelvic floor anatomy
to normal, helping a woman achieve a better quality of life.
What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)?
One of the most common causes of pelvic organ prolapse is childbirth. One
in two mothers suffers some form of pelvic organ prolapse in childbirth.
These conditions include:
- Small bowel prolapse / enterocele
- Vaginal prolapse
- Anterior vaginal prolapse / cystocele
- Posterior vaginal prolapse / rectocele
Other common causes of pelvic organ prolapse include pressure on the abdomen,
such as obesity, a chronic long-term cough, constipation, pelvic organ
cancers, and a hysterectomy.
Diagnosis & Treatment of Pelvic Conditions in Ventura County
Explaining your symptoms thoroughly to your doctor will help him, or her
identify the problem and design an effective treatment solution. While
some restorative measures are non-invasive - such as specific exercises
and diet/lifestyle changes - reconstructive surgery may be required to
restore pelvic functions. There are many different types of procedures,
depending on the particular condition.
Pelvic floor reconstruction procedures include:
- Abdominal sacral coloplexy, used in treating vaginal prolapse
- Perineorrhaphy, used in treating posterior vaginal prolapse
- Cystocele repair, used in treating anterior vaginal prolapse
- Uterosacral or sacropinous ligament fixation, used in treating vaginal prolapse
- Sacral colpopexy, used in treating small bowel prolapse
