What is Vagina Prolapse (or Pelvic Organ Prolapse) ?
Vagina Prolapse or Pelvic Organ Prolapse, as the name suggests means the slipping out of the pelvic organs into the vaginal canal, or sometimes even out of the vagina. It is the feeling of something coming out of the vagina, and a woman feel this pressure when she sits down.

Mostly, Vagina Prolapse ( or Pelvic Organ Prolapse) is diagnosed in its later stages, where the symptoms are too severe.
Treatment of Vagina Prolapse ( or Pelvic Organ Prolapse) includes a combination of lifestyle changes and precautionary measures, and in some severe cases, Surgery. If the need arises, surgical interventions must be consulted and handled by an experienced reconstructive and cosmetic gynaecologist.
Surgical Treatment Options for Vaginal Prolapse (or Pelvic Organ Prolapse)
In cases where non-surgical treatments are insufficient, surgical options may be necessary. These procedures aim to restore the normal anatomy of the pelvic organs.
Advanced Vaginal Repair Surgery at Elle Sante
This surgery involves repairing the vaginal walls to provide better support for the prolapsed organs. It can be performed through the vagina, resulting in minimal scarring.
As the name suggests, Vaginal Surgeries are performed through the vaginal natual opening. A highly skilled gynaecologist surgeon will access the pelvic organs without an incision in the abdominal area. This procedure is performed with the help of sophisticated instruments and the surgeon does not have a clear panoramic view of area being operated. While the procedure minimizes the recovery time and visible scars on the patient, the surgery is performed completely by touch and a narrow field of view.
The procedure is complex and needs high level of precision and skill. The surgeon’s instincts is the critical success factor for the procedure, hence these procedures must be performed by extensively skilled reconstructive & cosmetic gynaecologists, with a high level of successful outcomes.
It is not always easy to find an expert gynaecologist surgeon (reconstructive and cosmetic gynaecologist). Such vaginal surgeons technically savvy doctors with decades of experience to be able to create mental 3D images of the patients anatomy.

Advanced Laparoscopic Repair Surgery at Elle Sante
This is a minimal invasive surgerical treatment which makes use of very small incisions and special instruments to repair a vaginal (or pelvic organ) prolapse. It offers quicker recovery times and less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgery.
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a gynaecologist surgeon is able to examine an treat the organ in question without making large incisions in the patients body, using instruments called Laparoscopes ( thin lighted tubes with cameras). The surgeon only makes 2-3 very small incisions just big enough to let the slim instruments through. During the procedure, a gynaecologist surgeon uses a slim tube like camera to give a view of the abdominal cavita on a connected monitor. With this view, the surgeon then is able to easiliy insert surgical devices into the cavity to do diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Laparoscopy is a well studied subject and provides a versatile alternative to regular open surgeries, which have a very long healing and recovery time.
In Gynaecology, Laparoscopy is well established to treat Endometriosis, Pelvic Diseases, Ectopic PRegnancy, Ovarian Cysts etc. It is also used to treat Ovarian Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Uterine Cancer, and treating Pelvic Organ Prolapse. This surgical intervention is considered minimal invasive, and has successfully helped many women battling with various Pelvic Area Problems.
Benefits of Laproscopic Surgery :
There are multiple advantages of a Laparoscopy Surgery in comparison to regular Open Surgeries.
- Patient recovery very fast as compared to regular surgery, due to the very small incisions and hence, minimal exposure of the patients internal organs.
- Since the incisions are basic, the patient does not suffer heavy loss of blood. With this there is very small visible scar on the patient body.
- The patient recovers quickly and suffers less pain after a laparoscopic surgery.
- There are very low risk of complications during and after a laparoscopic surgery.
What are the risks of Laparoscopy?
All interventional and surgical procedures carry risks to the patient. Laparoscopy, while minimally invasive, does intrude into the interiors of the body, and is associated with risks like infection, Hematoma, injury to pelvic structures, and bleeding. An expert reconstructive & cosmetic gynaecologist surgeon is able to consider all potential risks while planning for the surgery to minimize risks.
What is the process of Laparoscopy?
For a Laparoscopy, the patient is put under general anaesthesia. After this, a small 5-10mm long incision is made in the umbilicus. A scope is inserted inside the abdomen, which has a light bearing camera at the end. The gynaecologist surgeon is now able to visualise live images of the inside of the abdomen on a connected screen or monitor clearly. This camera is also able to record the procedures completely.
Multiple surgical accessories can be inserted in the body through the small incisions to treat local tissues. Once over, the scope and all instruments are gently withdrawn from the body and the incisions are taped / stiched back together.
