Anterior vaginal wall repair

Right!

Anterior vaginal wall repair is a repair operation used to treat urethral bulge, bladder bulge, and rectal bulge.

The vaginal opening is located behind the urethral opening and before the anus. The urethra connects to the bladder, the anus connects to the rectum, and the vagina leads to the uterus

Indications for surgery

Anterior vaginal wall repair is used to treat urethral bulge, cystocele, and rectal bulge. Sometimes surgery is also used to treat women with tension urinary incontinence, restoring the normal position and physiological functions of their bladder and urethra. Surgery is usually performed when medication and bladder exercise treatments are ineffective

Surgical procedure

The patient went into deep sleep under general anesthesia, and the surgical incision was located on the anterior vaginal wall where the vagina and the base of the bladder were attached. Suture the bladder and urethra to the normal position. The procedure depends on the situation.

The urinary catheter should be left for 1-2 days after the operation, and the patient enters a liquid diet. When the large intestine function is restored, you can enter a semi-fluid diet. At the same time, patients should take stool softeners or laxatives to soften the stool and reduce the impact of bowel peristaltic tension on the surgical incision.

Postoperative care

Anterior vaginal wall repair can relieve symptoms in about 60% of women.

Reduce postoperative exercise that may increase abdominal pressure, such as fatigue, sneezing, and coughing. To support the bladder, try to tighten your pelvic muscles when you cough and sneeze, and urinate every 2-3 hours. A urinary catheter can also be inserted to prevent increased pressure on the surgical suture site due to overfilling of the bladder.

Avoid lifting heavy objects, taking stool softeners or laxatives to prevent constipation and reduce the tension of bowel movements
