The Gold Standard of Support: Sacral Colpopexy What is Sacral Colpopexy? Sacral colpopexy is a sophisticated surgical procedure used to correct vaginal vault prolapse or uterine prolapse. It involves using a biocompatible mesh to suspend the top of the vagina (the "vault") or the cervix to the sacrum—the sturdy, bony base of your spine. By mimicking the body''s natural ligaments, this procedure restores the pelvic organs to their correct anatomical position. Our specialists primarily perform this via Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted methods. Through small "keyhole" incisions, the surgeon uses high-precision instruments to attach the mesh, providing a secure, tension-free lift that is far more durable than traditional vaginal repairs. Why is this Procedure Personally Vital for You? Sacral colpopexy is considered the most effective long-term solution for women with significant prolapse, especially those who wish to maintain an active lifestyle. This pathway is personally vital for you if: You Seek the Highest Success Rate: This procedure has a lower rate of "recurrence" (the prolapse returning) compared to other vaginal surgeries, making it the preferred choice for lasting results. You Have Experienced "Vault Prolapse" Post-Hysterectomy: If the top of the vagina has descended after a previous surgery, sacral colpopexy provides the necessary mechanical bridge to re-anchor it to the spine. You Value the Preservation of Vaginal Function: Because the procedure lifts from above rather than narrowing the vaginal canal from below, it preserves vaginal length and function, which is critical for many women. You Desire a Minimally Invasive Approach: By using robotic or laparoscopic techniques, we ensure less post-operative pain and a cleaner internal healing process compared to open abdominal surgery. The Path to Structural Stability and Recovery The goal of sacral colpopexy is to rebuild your internal support system and stabilize your pelvic health for the long term. This pathway is designed to: Provide Durable Mechanical Suspension: By utilizing the strength of the sacral bone, we create a permanent support structure that allows your pelvic organs to function without the pressure of prolapse. Ensure Clinical Readiness through Rigorous Screening: To ensure your pelvic anatomy is correctly mapped and your bone density is suitable for anchoring, we require a full medical history, diagnostic X-rays (including chest X-rays and specialized pelvic imaging or MRI), and comprehensive blood tests (including kidney function and inflammatory markers). A Focused Recovery and Stabilization Window: Because the mesh must "integrate" with your natural tissues and the anchor points on the sacrum must heal, we focus on a 2–3 week recovery and stabilization period. During this window, you will be guided to avoid heavy lifting and high-impact activities to ensure the mesh stabilizes perfectly in its new position. All details are subject to doctor evaluation for the final treatment plan.
