Pelvic plastic surgery is a surgical procedure to restore the strength and support of the pelvic muscles and ligaments. It treats a condition called pelvic organ prolapse which occurs when the muscle and ligaments that support your bladder, uterus or rectal area weaken. This may be a result of childbirth, chronic disease, heavy lifting or surgery. Pelvic reconstructive procedures can help patients return to a healthy lifestyle, including sexual activity and work.골반필러병원
The goal of pelvic reconstruction is to restore the normal shape, size and function of your vagina and pelvic support structures (natural or mesh associated) in order to maintain normal visceral and sexual function. Pelvic plastic surgery can be done through either an open or minimally invasive technique. Both offer the same quality of results and the choice is usually up to you and your surgeon.
During pregnancy, the pelvic floor works hard to stretch and accommodate your growing baby, often weakening the muscles. After childbirth, if the muscles and ligaments do not recover they can cause the organs to sag down through your vagina (prolapse). Other conditions that can contribute to prolapse include chronic constipation, untreated coughing, prolonged straining or hereditary factors.
Urogynecologists are surgeons who specialize in treating problems of the genital tract and urinary and fecal incontinence issues. They are trained to recognize these problems and offer the latest techniques in diagnosis and treatment.
Using a combination of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, the urogynecologist repairs the weakened pelvic support structures in both the anterior and lateral aspects of the pelvic walls. This can be performed through a large abdominal incision or with minimally invasive robotics. Both approaches have similar quality of results and patient recovery time.
We perform several types of prolapse surgery, including colonic resection (rectocele repair), colporrhaphy, sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. During these procedures, the surgeon sews a strong “wall” of tissue to the back wall of the pelvis, creating an extra layer of support. This can reduce the prolapse and prevent it from recurring.
For women with a prolapsed womb who have gone through menopause or do not plan to have more children, a doctor may recommend a hysterectomy to help relieve pressure on the prolapsed organs and reduce the risk of further prolapse. The procedure can also treat sacrocystocele or enterocele, which are hereditary problems in which the abdominal wall is weak.
Another option for some women with POP is transvaginal graft surgery. This surgical procedure uses a sterile, synthetic or biological material to patch and reinforce weak areas of your pelvic floor tissue. This can provide a more stable base and alleviate incontinence issues. The procedure is a less invasive alternative to abdominal POP repairs, which require larger incisions.닥터케빈의원
