What is Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery?

Pelvic reconstructive surgery is a surgical procedure that aims at reconstructing and realigning the fallen or descended pelvic organs, which are usually supported by the pelvic floor muscles. This condition is known as pelvic organ prolapse, in which the uterus, bladder, or rectum descend and can produce pain, discomfort, and problems controlling bladder or bowel movements.

Our pelvic floor specialist performs these surgeries to correct problems such as:

  • Prolapsed uterus
  • Prolapsed bladder (cystocele)
  • Rectal prolapse (rectocele)

This surgery can provide significant relief from discomfort and restore normal pelvic function.

Why consider Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery?

Women may choose pelvic reconstructive surgery for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Pelvic pain treatment: Managing chronic pain due to pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Improved bladder function: Reestablishing normal bladder function and minimizing signs of a protruding bladder.
  • Prolapsed uterus treatment: Surgery for repairing a prolapsed uterus to eliminate pain and discomfort and achieve organ functionality.
  • Enhanced quality of life: Minimizing pain during activities of daily living and bowel and bladder control.

What are the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse?

Pelvic organ prolapse can cause several disruptive symptoms, including:

  • Pressure or heaviness in the pelvic region
  • Urinary incontinence or leakage
  • Difficulty emptying the bladder
  • Bowel movement issues
  • Discomfort during sex
  • Projection of organs in the region of the vagina

If you experience these symptoms, a pelvic floor doctor at Hackensack CMIGS can assess your condition and discuss your treatment options.

What does Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery involve?

During pelvic reconstructive surgery, Dr. Shoman uses advanced techniques to repair and reposition the affected organs. The procedure may involve sutures, mesh, or other materials to provide long-lasting support to the pelvic organs and strengthen the pelvic floor. This surgery can be done vaginally or through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, depending on your specific condition.

What is the recovery process after Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery?

Recovery after pelvic reconstructive surgery depends on the extent of the procedure. Most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks, though exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few months to ensure proper healing. Hackensack CMIGS team will provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to support your recovery.

What are the benefits of Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery?

  • Relief from chronic pelvic pain and discomfort
  • Improved bladder and bowel function
  • Enhanced sexual comfort
  • Increased confidence and quality of life
  • Long-term resolution of pelvic organ prolapse symptoms

By addressing the underlying cause of your symptoms, pelvic reconstructive surgery can help you return to your daily activities without pain or discomfort.
