In the case of a patient with strong pelvic floor muscles, the doctor may recommend the vaginal approach, where the vagina is anchored with an existing stable structure.
In case the pelvic floor is weak, due to repeat procedures or severe physical stress, the Vault extension technique might be recommended. This technique is carried either through a vaginal or abdominal approach with the use of a mesh.
The vaginal vault prolapse repair can be effected through a vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic, or robotic laparoscopic approach.
Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy-
It is an increasingly popular procedure because it is a minimal access surgery done through the abdomen. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas such that there are enough place and visibility to conduct the surgery.
Four to five small incisions are made to guide the camera and other instruments with the entire procedure. Finally, a piece of surgical mesh is used to support the front and back walls of the vagina.
It helps in faster recovery as well as shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to daily activities.
Robotic laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy -
Itis a recent development that uses a robot-assisted laparoscopic approach. The surgery is supported by better visualization and precise movements during surgery.
The robotic Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopxy is a similar procedure as abdominal sacrocolpopexy. However, it is a less invasive technique with four small incisions.
