Anterior Vaginal Repair
What Is The Anterior Vaginal Repair?
Anterior Vaginal Repair, or cystocele repair, is a surgical procedure that treats bladder prolapse, where the bladder drops into the vagina. This can lead to issues such as a feeling of fullness or discomfort in the vagina, difficulty urinating, and recurrent urinary tract infections. By stitching the front wall of the vagina and trimming excess vaginal tissue, this procedure can relieve these symptoms.
How Does The Anterior Vaginal Repair Work?
The surgery is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. An incision is made in the vaginal wall, and the surgeon places stitches to strengthen the tissues between the bladder and vagina. If necessary, synthetic mesh may be used for additional support. The incision is then closed with stitches, reinforcing the vaginal wall and supporting the bladder.
What Can I Expect During The Treatment?
During the Treatment
The surgery takes about 1-2 hours, and hospitalisation for 1-3 days is typically required.
After the Treatment
You may experience some discomfort initially, managed with pain relief. It is normal to have some vaginal bleeding and discharge for a few days.
Following Weeks
Avoiding strenuous activity for 6 weeks is advised, and driving should be avoided until you can perform an emergency stop without discomfort. Your symptoms should gradually improve, with complete recovery within a few months.
