  1. What is a prolapse? Prolapse is the loss of normal support of the vagina and/or uterus (womb). Prolapse of the uterus and/or vaginal walls is a common condition with up to 11% of women requiring surgery during their lifetime. Prolapse generally occurs due to damage to the supporting structures of the uterus or vagina. Weakening of the supports can occur during childbirth, following chronic heavy lifting or straining (e.g. with constipation), chronic cough, obe-sity, and as part of the aging process. In some cases, there may be a genetic weakness of the supportive tissues Normal uterus and vagina, no prolapse Prolapse of the uterus, bladder, and rectum (bowel)

  2. Prolapse Management I offer laparoscopic and vaginal treatment options for the management of prolapse including sacrocolpopexy, hysteropexy, vaginal hysterectomy and repair and sacrospinous fixation. General Gynaecology I manage period problems including heavy, irregular or painful periods, menopausal problems, pelvic pain, fibroids, ovarian cysts and polyps. I also provide annual ‘Well woman checks’.

  3. What is a vaginal hysterectomy?This is a procedure in which the uterus is surgically removed through the vagina. The operation is frequently combined with prolapse repairs of the bladder and/or bowel. There are no ab-dominal or laparoscopic incisions Vaginal Hysterectomy for Prolapse A G u i d e f o r W o m e n 1. What is a prolapse?2. What is a vaginal hysterectomy?3.

  4. What happens during surgery? Sacrocolpopexy is performed either through an abdominal inci-sion or “key holes” (using a laparoscope or with a surgical ro-bot). Surgery is done under general anesthesia, which is means being completely asleep with a tube in your throat to breathe. The vagina is first freed from the bladder at the front and the rectum at the back. A graft made of permanent synthetic mesh (lightweight material made from woven polypropylene) is used to cover the front and the back surfaces of the vagina. The mesh is then attached to a ligament that runs on the sacrum (tail bone) as shown in the illustration.
