Pelvic Floor Repair
The most common surgery for prolapse is a pelvic floor repair, which is a broad term used to describe simple surgical repairs of the pelvic floor. More specifically, the term anterior repair refers to correction of the front wall of the vagina; and posterior repair refers to correction of the back wall of the vagina. If the uterus is prolapsing, it may be removed (hysterectomy). If you have already had a hysterectomy, then the top of the vagina (vault) can be lifted up and supported.
Surgeons often carry out more than one of these repairs simultaneously.
