Pelvic Reconstruction

What is Pelvic Reconstruction?
Pelvic reconstruction is one of the surgical procedures which helps to restore the integrity and strength of the pelvic floor. This procedure helps to treat a condition when the ligaments and muscles of the pelvic floor are damaged or weak.
This happens usually due to childbirth. Doctors perform this by addressing each one of the prolapsing organs, rebuilding the layers for supporting or removing the organ that has fallen. This procedure also treats pelvic organ prolapse, chronic disease, heavy lifting, or surgery.

How is a pelvic reconstruction done?
The procedure of a pelvic reconstruction takes place inside the vagina. An anterior pelvic reconstruction by an incision made along the mucosa (vaginal skin) that is overlying the bladder that is not at the appropriate place. Insertion of the catheter is made into the urethra enabling the vaginal mucosa to open, and the bladder wall to reveal.
There are many ways by which an anterior repair takes place. One of the most common methods is an incision along the front wall of the vagina which starts near the entrance and finishes almost near the top of the vagina. Surgeons use absorbable stitches to repair the weakened layers.
It usually takes 30 – 60 minutes to carry out this surgery. It would take around 1 – 2 hours in total if a vaginal hysterectomy takes place with pelvic reconstruction.

Pelvic Reconstruction Treatment
There are two kinds of pelvic reconstruction treatment. They are:
1. Non-surgical treatment
A pessary is the first non-surgical treatment often tried. It is inserted into the vagina to give support to the pelvic organs and control urine leakage.
Doctors also advise bringing changes in lifestyle and diet. Some of the tips are:
- Ensure a proper amount of fluid intake.
- Add more fibrous food to your meals. Add fruits, green vegetables, or salads.
- Try to maintain a healthy BMI. Keep your weight under control.
2. Surgical treatment
If the problems are in advanced stages, usually surgical treatments are recommended. There are two kinds of surgeries performed depending upon your medical condition & other clinical parameters.
(i) Obliterative surgery
This surgery closes or narrows the vagina. It helps to provide support to the prolapsed organs. After this procedure is done, there will be no chance of sexual intercourse.
(ii) Reconstructive surgery
The original positions of the organs are restored by reconstructive surgery. This procedure is done through an incision in the vagina. The types of reconstructive surgery include:
- Native tissue repair.
- Colporrhaphy (used to treat prolapse of the front and back wall of the vagina).
- Sacrocolpopexy (used to treat enterocele or vaginal vault prolapse).
- Sacrohysteropexy (when a woman does not want a hysterectomy but wants to treat uterine prolapse).
- Surgery using vaginally placed mesh (used to treat all types of prolapse).

What to expect after surgery
After the surgery is done expect some discharge and spotting from the vagina for about six weeks. Bleeding reduces over time. In case bleeding increases, you need to call your doctor immediately. Stitches that are dissolving, are represented by yellowish-white and watery vaginal discharge.
Recovery time for pelvic reconstructive surgery
The recovery time for pelvic reconstructive surgery depends upon the circumstances and condition of the patient. Usually, it takes about three weeks after the surgery to return to full activity.
The patient should refrain from sexual activity for about three to four weeks after the surgery. It is because if there is a vaginal incision, the patient would have painful intercourse. You are advised to avoid lifting, vigorous exercise, and straining for the first few weeks.
Cost of pelvic floor reconstruction
The cost of pelvic reconstruction ranges from Rs. 3,50,000 to Rs, 5,55,000.
If you have pelvic organ prolapse symptoms and they are interfering with your daily activities you need immediate treatment. Doctors will suggest non-surgical options first and, if needed surgical options later on.

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jay's exceptional support throughout my IVF journey. Dr Jay has been like God sent an Angel for us. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Jay was not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also someone who genuinely cared about my well-being.
From my first meeting, he was very clear transparent, and straightforward about my protocol, treatment line, and success rate. After two difficult IVF cycles that failed, I was beginning to lose hope.
However, Dr. Jay’s unwavering encouragement and meticulous care helped me stay positive and focused. Thanks to God and of course to his expertise and dedication, WE FINALLY ACHIEVED SUCCESS!!!!!

Dr Jay Mehta is the best Fertility doctor. I am glad to have IVF done with Jay sir.
This unit is very ethical and very honest at work. In my previous IVF cycle, I did not have embryos in Chennai. I was here and Dr and team had told me not to worry. I was given end to end transparency about my embryos and I was lucky to become pregnant in the 1st cycle here, though I was told that the success rate will be about 25 to 30%.
IVF space is competitive, but these guys don't do any Ads on Google. And still if you search, Dr Jay is ranked no.1. I was extremely impressed with that and I am happy that I took a call to travel to Mumbai from Chennai.
I am thankful to the entire team for handling my case nicely. And May God shower the team with his choicest blessings.

This time also I came for Endometriosis treatment n within 3-4 days decided to get operated as there was no looking back as I trust him for his treatment. Thank you Dr once again for the right advice 😊
