What is Vaginal Hysterectomy With Pelvic Floor Repair?
Vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair is a surgical procedure. It involves the removal of the uterus (womb) through the vagina. Along with this, the pelvic floor muscles and tissues are repaired. This helps support the pelvic organs. The surgery addresses both the uterus and the pelvic floor, ensuring better structural support.
This surgery is often needed for conditions like uterine prolapse, where the uterus slips into the vaginal canal. Other conditions include pelvic organ prolapse and chronic pelvic pain. If untreated, these conditions can lead to discomfort, urinary issues, and other complications. Modern surgical approaches include minimally invasive techniques. These techniques aim to reduce recovery time and improve outcomes.

Vaginal Hysterectomy with Pelvic Floor Repair Surgery Indications
This combined procedure is recommended when uterine conditions and pelvic floor weakness significantly affect daily life and do not respond to conservative treatments. At Medicover Hospitals, evaluation is done by an experienced gynecologist.
Uterine Prolapse
Patients may experience a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis, urinary incontinence, or difficulty with bowel movements. Examination may reveal the uterus descending into the vaginal canal. When lifestyle changes and pessary use do not provide relief, surgery is considered.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Persistent pelvic pain can interfere with daily activities. It may be linked to uterine conditions like fibroids or endometriosis. Imaging tests may show abnormalities. If pain management and hormonal therapies fail, surgery might be recommended.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Excessive bleeding can lead to anaemia and fatigue. It may be due to fibroids or adenomyosis. Ultrasound or MRI can confirm these findings. When medications and other interventions are ineffective, a hysterectomy may be advised.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Symptoms include a bulge in the vaginal area, pelvic pressure, and urinary issues. Physical examination and imaging confirm the prolapse. Surgery is considered when pelvic floor exercises and pessaries are insufficient.
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections
Frequent infections can result from pelvic floor dysfunction. Symptoms include burning during urination and frequent urges. Tests may show bladder prolapse. When antibiotics and lifestyle changes don't help, surgical repair may be needed.
How to Prepare for Vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair?
Preparation is crucial for a smooth surgery and recovery. It helps minimise risks and ensures the best possible outcome.
- Medication Review: Stop NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and herbal supplements as advised by your doctor.

Vaginal Hysterectomy with Pelvic Floor Repair - Procedure Steps
This procedure is performed by gynecologists. It typically takes 2-3 hours and is done under general or regional anaesthesia.
- Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably. Anaesthesia is administered to ensure no pain during the surgery.
- Incision: A small incision is made in the vaginal wall. This allows access to the uterus and pelvic floor.
- Uterus Removal: Using surgical instruments like a curette and bipolar cautery, the uterus is carefully detached and removed through the vaginal opening.
- Pelvic Floor Repair: The pelvic floor muscles and tissues are repaired. This may involve suturing to provide better support to the pelvic organs.
- Closure: The incision in the vaginal wall is closed with sutures. This helps in healing and prevents infection.
- Recovery: The patient is moved to a recovery area. Vital signs are monitored as the anaesthesia wears off.
- Post-Operative Care: Pain management and instructions for home care are provided. The patient is advised on activity restrictions and follow-up visits.
