Prolapse repair

Prolapse, commonly known as "pelvic organ descent", corresponds to a weakening of the natural supports of the pelvis, causing the bladder, the uterus or the rectum to descend into the vagina. It manifests as a feeling of heaviness or of a lump, daily discomfort and sometimes associated urinary or digestive problems. When the discomfort becomes significant and physiotherapy is no longer enough, surgery may be offered. Several techniques exist: laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, which repositions the organs and secures them firmly, or vaginal repairs, with no abdominal scar. The choice depends on the patient's age, anatomy, the organs involved and her expectations. The pre-operative work-up precisely assesses each compartment of the pelvis and looks for associated urinary problems, sometimes with the help of a urodynamic assessment carried out at the clinic's urodynamic testing center. This complete evaluation makes it possible to offer the technique best suited to each situation. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, prolapse repair benefits from collaboration between the establishment's gynecologists and urologists. The goal is to restore each patient's comfort and confidence in her daily life, with proven techniques and attentive support.
