LPSC sacrocolpopexy and uteropexy

Women suffering from uterine and/or vaginal prolapse, which can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as pressure or bulging in the vaginal area, may be candidates for LPSC sacrocolpopexy and uteropexy. Before recommending these procedures, a thorough evaluation is typically conducted to determine the patient's suitability for surgery and to select the optimal therapy.

Before surgery, patients undergo a comprehensive examination, including pelvic examination and diagnostic tests such as ultrasound or MRI, to determine the degree of prolapse and overall health status. It may be necessary to discontinue certain medications before surgery, and dietary changes may be recommended. The doctor provides detailed guidelines on preparing for surgery and the accompanying steps.

LPSC sacrocolpopexy and uteropexy are usually performed under general anesthesia. During sacrocolpopexy, the vagina is fixed to the sacrum, while during uteropexy, the uterus is lifted and fixed to the appropriate location in the abdominal cavity. The surgeon carefully places a mesh implant to strengthen the structures and provide support, correcting the prolapse and restoring normal anatomy.

The results of LPSC sacrocolpopexy and uteropexy depend on the degree of prolapse, the patient's overall health, and possible complications. Most patients experience improvement in prolapse symptoms, such as pain and discomfort, and achieve a return to normal vaginal and uterine function. It's important to understand that individual results may vary, and regular postoperative check-ups are important for monitoring recovery and detecting possible complications.

After surgery, patients receive instructions on postoperative care, activity limitations, and signs of possible complications. It is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care and adhere to the schedule of regular check-ups to ensure successful recovery.
