Organopexy

Organopexy (organopexia; organo-+Greek pexis attachment) is a surgical operation to fix an organ using sutures or other material.

Organopexy is used for prolapse of internal organs (for example, kidneys, uterus, bladder), when it is necessary to secure the organ in the correct anatomical position. This allows you to restore the normal functioning of the organ and prevent the development of complications.

During the operation, the organ is elevated and fixed to the surrounding tissues or bone elements using absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Sometimes special meshes are used for fixation. In the postoperative period, scar tissue forms, which reliably holds the organ in the desired position.

Organopexy is an effective method of combating organ prolapse. If the surgical technique and postoperative recommendations are followed, relapses of prolapse are extremely rare.

Organopexy is a medical term in which organs or tissues of various animals (mostly frogs or pigs) are dissected and completely moved inside the human body to create an original anatomical formation. Despite the variety of existing surgical techniques, all manipulations are performed under strict anesthesia.
