Laparoscopic Prolapse Surgery is done to treat the prolapse of pelvic organs to relieve pain, pressure, discomfort, and urinary & bowel dysfunction. The treatment is performed using the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique that restores the structure and function of the pelvic organs that have dropped down or pressed against the vagina, thereby causing the vagina to protrude or bulge.
The weakening of the muscles and ligaments around the uterus and pelvic region causes prolapse and the symptoms include difficulty in eliminating wastes from the bowel and discomfort in the vagina while standing.
With a laparoscope, procedures like abdominal sacrocolpopexy and uterosacral ligament suspension can be done. Several small less-invasive probes are used to correct the apex of the vagina to connect it with a strong ligament. The surgery is less painful than abdominal-approach and patients undergoing the surgery can leave the hospital the very next day.
