Pelvic Organ Prolapse / Mesh Augmented Vaginal Reconstruction (outpatient surgery center & hospital)

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles that hold pelvic organs in place are stretched or weakened, and the organs move from their natural positions to press against the vaginal wall.

Prolapse repairs can be done through the vagina. During the procedure, the surgeon repositions the prolapsed organs and secures them to surrounding tissues and ligaments. Increasingly we use synthetic mesh, such as that for abdominal hernia repairs, creating a “hammock” to lift the prolapsed organ and return it to it’s normal position. This is better than traditional surgery that uses already weakened tissues, resulting in a more durable repair.
