Vaginal Surgery

Vaginal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed through the vaginal canal without making incisions in the abdominal wall. It is a modern, minimally invasive approach used to treat a wide range of gynecological conditions.

For appropriately selected patients, vaginal surgery offers less surgical trauma, faster recovery, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.

When Is Vaginal Surgery Recommended?

Vaginal surgery may be recommended for the treatment of:

• Uterine prolapse (pelvic organ prolapse)

• Bladder prolapse (cystocele)

• Rectal prolapse into the vagina (rectocele)

• Surgical treatment of urinary incontinence

• Certain uterine conditions requiring vaginal hysterectomy

• Other benign gynecological conditions

Benefits of Vaginal Surgery

• No abdominal incisions

• Less postoperative pain

• Faster recovery

• Shorter hospital stay

• Minimal or no visible scarring

• Quicker return to normal daily activities

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Vaginal surgery is performed under general or regional (spinal) anesthesia, depending on the type of procedure and the patient's condition. The operation is carried out entirely through the vaginal canal using specialized surgical techniques, without external incisions.

Recovery

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities within a few weeks. Following your physician's postoperative instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for optimal healing and recovery.
