Colpocleisis is yet another surgical approach for uterine prolapse. Usually, this technique is applied as last resort, especially when the prolapse is in the serious stage.
The placement of surgical mesh for uterine prolapse has caused infinite sufferings to many women, according to medical industry publications. Truly, this medical tool has slowly become controversial that even women who have not received it have already started asking questions.What happens during vaginal mesh placement?
Uterine prolapse is one of the many diseases that vaginal mesh is meant to address; however, there are also other options available to women. Hysterectomy is mostly preferred by surgeons for those women who no longer wish to get pregnant and those whose lives will be endangered if the uterus is remained untouched.
Hysterectomy may either be total, subtotal, or radical, which is determined by the part of the uterus that should be cut off. In subtotal hysterectomy, only the displaced part of the uterus is excised, but when the whole uterus is ultimately out of place, the total removal of the organ and the cervix may be implemented.For conditions with abnormal tissue growths in the uterus, radical hysterectomy may be applied.Hysterectomy may not be suitable for every patient, but those who are fit to undergo this surgery have a greater propensity to recuperate.Those women whose pelvis and ovaries are damaged, this type of operation may not be advised.
Colpocleisis is yet another surgical approach for uterine prolapse. Usually, this technique is applied as last resort, especially when the prolapse is in the serious stage. This procedure is done by covering the vaginal canal as the anterior part of the vagina is patched with stitches into its rear end. Women who have no problem putting an end to their sex life may opt for this procedure as well as those who have poor chances of getting cured from all the other approaches.
Scrospinous fixation, which is the superimposing of ligaments from the uterus into the spinal ligaments through stitches, may also be used for uterine prolapse. This is almost identical to the implantation of vaginal mesh; only this time, a synthetic material is placed rather than the patient’s own tissues.
Urology and gynecology specialists believe that a vaginal support effectively fixes the damaged tissues by reinforcing the base of the pelvic diaphragm. While some recipients believe that doctors should be held liable for not disclosing the negative complications of this procedure, many of the distressed patients are after the manufacturers that produced them and failed to assess the effectiveness and the safety of their products. With this, the number of already filed vaginal mesh lawsuits in the Unites States alone have reached thousands recently.
