Treatment
Sacrospinous Colpopexy
What Is Sacrospinous Colpopexy?
Sacrospinous Colpopexy is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing pelvic organ prolapse. It's designed to support the vagina by attaching it to the sacrospinous ligament, providing a more anatomically correct position.
How Does Sacrospinous Colpopexy Work?
The procedure is performed through the vagina and involves attaching the upper part of the vagina to the nearby sacrospinous ligament. This attachment restores the vagina to its normal position and provides support to prevent future prolapse.
What Can I Expect During The Treatment?

You will be under general anaesthesia, and the procedure usually takes around one hour. It's a minimally invasive procedure with a shorter recovery period compared to other surgical options.
After the Treatment
Some discomfort and light spotting may occur. Restrictions on lifting and strenuous activities will be in place for a period following the procedure.
