Colporrhaphy

Colporrhaphy is a surgical procedure to strengthen the vaginal walls.

The goal of colporrhaphy is to correct prolapse of pelvic organs, such as the uterus or bladder, by narrowing and strengthening the vaginal walls.

The operation can be performed for conditions such as:

1. Pelvic organ prolapse
2. Urinary incontinence
3. Vaginal wall prolapse

During colporrhaphy, the surgeon removes excess vaginal tissue and sutures the vaginal walls, strengthening them. This helps maintain the pelvic organs in the correct position and prevents their prolapse.

Colporrhaphy can be performed through an open incision or using laparoscopic techniques. The recovery period after surgery usually takes 4-6 weeks.

Overall, colporrhaphy is an effective procedure for treating prolapse and incontinence, allowing the restoration of normal pelvic floor anatomy.
