Hysteropexis is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is secured inside the abdominal cavity to prevent it from moving during pregnancy and childbirth. This procedure can be performed during either a natural birth or a caesarean section.
Hysteropexis can be performed for various diseases of the uterus, such as fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, as well as in the presence of scars on the uterus after previous operations.
The hysteropexy procedure involves several steps. First, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen and removes the uterus. He then attaches the uterus to the anterior wall of the abdominal cavity using special threads or other materials. After this, the uterus returns to its place and the incision is closed.
After hysteropexy, the patient may experience some discomfort due to the fact that the uterus is located inside the abdominal cavity. However, this usually goes away after a few days.
Overall, hysteropexys is an effective treatment for uterine conditions and may be useful for women who want to avoid complications during pregnancy or childbirth.
