Hysteropexy

Hysteropexy is a sophisticated surgical technique aimed at addressing uterine prolapse by providing robust support and stabilisation to the uterus. Unlike traditional hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus, hysteropexy preserves the uterus while effectively correcting the prolapse. This procedure is particularly beneficial for women who desire to maintain their fertility or wish to avoid the potential hormonal changes associated with hysterectomy.

During a hysteropexy, our highly skilled surgeons employ minimally invasive techniques to secure the uterus in its proper position. The procedure is typically performed under general or regional anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the surgery. Small incisions are made to access the pelvic area, allowing the surgeon to precisely place supportive materials such as synthetic mesh, sutures, or other specialised devices. These materials reinforce the weakened pelvic structures and restore the uterus to its natural alignment. The use of minimally invasive techniques in hysteropexy offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. By utilising small incisions, patients experience reduced post-operative pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery time. In addition, the risk of complications is significantly reduced, resulting in shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to daily activities. 

One of the primary advantages of hysteropexy is the preservation of the uterus. This is particularly significant for women who still desire to have children or who have personal reasons to maintain their uterus intact. By retaining the uterus, natural hormonal balance is preserved, avoiding potential hormonal changes that may occur after a hysterectomy.
