Ginecology

The prolapse of pelvic organs is the discent of vaginal walls, uterus and quite often of bladder and rectum. One of the most frequent symptoms is the perception of discent downward of uterus and vagina, as a foreign body.
Birth and menopause are the most common causes of the prolapse, nevertheless obesity, cough, chronic constipation and heavy work activities must be taken into account among the causes.

The aim of the surgical operation to solve the problem of the pelvic organs’ prolapse is to improve women’s quality of life. However the techiques nowadays mostly used for this operation request a postoperative recovery of 4/7 days and they often keep urinary and defecation problems unsolved.

Great results have been reached in this field thanks to the laparoscopic techniques, which allow surgeons to have a less invasive therapeutic approach, respecting anatomy and functionality of pelvic organs.

Since more than 5 years Dr. Nardo Tola works on the correction of the pelvic organs proplapse almost exclusively with laparoscopy, preferably keeping the uterus thanks to the operation called I-POPS:

Integral-Pelvic Organ Prolapse Suspension.

This operation consists in the suspension of vagina and/or uterus and of sigma-rectum through a mesh of a synthetic biocompatible material (used in plastic surgery), made of a central part plus 2, 4 or 6 side arms.
In most of cases uterus is kept and relocated in its anatomic seat.
The uterus preservation avoids a lot of psycological disturbances that could be caused by the organ removal.

Nevertheless it is important to highlight that with one operation you can simultaneously solve the problem of pelvic organs prolapse and the associated urinary and defecation problems.
