Treatment Overview
Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Wall Reconstruction is an advanced pelvic floor reconstructive surgery designed to repair and strengthen weakened vaginal walls and pelvic support structures that have been affected by pelvic organ prolapse, childbirth, or aging. The anterior wall repair (anterior colporrhaphy) focuses on correcting bladder prolapse (cystocele), while the posterior wall repair (posterior colporrhaphy) addresses rectal prolapse (rectocele) and vaginal laxity.
In Korea, this surgery is performed under Women’s Health / OBGYN – Surgical Gynecology, using the most refined, minimally invasive, and mesh-free techniques. Korean hospitals are globally recognized for their precision pelvic floor reconstruction, combining aesthetic vaginal rejuvenation, functional repair, and fertility-preserving methods. Most centers employ microsurgical suturing, laser-assisted reinforcement, and 3D pelvic imaging to ensure natural, safe, and long-lasting results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects bladder and rectal prolapse by reinforcing the vaginal walls.
- Restores normal pelvic anatomy and strengthens vaginal tissue support.
- Relieves symptoms such as vaginal bulging, urinary incontinence, and constipation.
- Enhances sexual comfort, tightness, and vaginal aesthetics.
- Minimally invasive – shorter recovery and minimal scarring.
- Provides durable, natural pelvic support using native tissues.
- Improves pelvic stability, bladder control, and bowel function.
- Can be combined with uterine suspension or perineal repair for complete pelvic restoration.
Ideal Candidates
- Women diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse (cystocele, rectocele, or vaginal wall laxity).
- Patients with pelvic floor weakness after childbirth or aging.
- Women experiencing urinary leakage, vaginal pressure, or rectal discomfort.
- Those seeking natural, uterus-preserving reconstruction.
- Patients desiring aesthetic-functional vaginal rejuvenation.
- Women who want minimally invasive and long-term results without synthetic mesh.
Possible Risks & Complications
Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Wall Reconstruction is a safe and well-established procedure, especially in Korean hospitals using modern, evidence-based protocols. Minor temporary side effects may include:
- Mild vaginal soreness or swelling.
- Temporary urinary retention or constipation.
- Light vaginal bleeding or discharge.
- Rare infection or inflammation (preventable with antibiotics).
- Minimal recurrence if postoperative care is properly followed.
Korean hospitals use laser-assisted healing, micro-suturing, and image-guided pelvic support mapping to ensure precision, minimize trauma, and enhance long-term results.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korean OBGYN specialists utilize the world’s most refined techniques to perform anterior and posterior reconstruction with superior precision and cosmetic results:
- Anterior Colporrhaphy (Bladder Wall Repair): Tightens and supports the anterior vaginal wall by plicating the pubocervical fascia to correct bladder prolapse.
- Posterior Colporrhaphy (Rectal Wall Repair): Reinforces the posterior vaginal wall by repairing and strengthening the rectovaginal fascia to treat rectocele.
- Perineorrhaphy (Perineal Repair): Reconstructs and tightens the perineal body for improved vaginal support and function.
- Laser-Assisted Vaginal Tightening: Enhances tissue strength and collagen regeneration post-repair.
- Mesh-Free Native Tissue Reconstruction: Uses the patient’s own fascia and ligaments for natural reinforcement.
- Combined Vaginal Wall Reconstruction: Integrates both anterior and posterior repairs for full pelvic floor rejuvenation.
- Robotic-Assisted Reconstruction (Da Vinci System): Provides enhanced precision in complex or recurrent prolapse cases.
Korean hospitals employ 4K/3D laparoscopic visualization, microsurgical suturing, and AI-guided pelvic floor imaging to ensure anatomical accuracy and balanced repair.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days; outpatient procedures available for mild prolapse cases.
- Recovery time: Light activities resumed in 1–2 weeks, full recovery in 4–6 weeks.
- Mild swelling, cramping, or light discharge may occur initially.
- Avoid sexual intercourse, tampon use, and heavy exercise for 4–6 weeks.
- Gentle walking encouraged to promote blood circulation and healing.
- Follow-up visits: Typically at 2 and 6 weeks after surgery.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy (Kegel exercises) recommended for long-term maintenance.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate improvement in pelvic organ alignment and vaginal tightness.
- Restored pelvic strength, bladder control, and sexual function.
- Enhanced vaginal aesthetics and comfort.
- Long-lasting outcomes with over 90–95% success rates in Korean hospitals.
- Minimal recurrence due to advanced surgical precision.
- Balanced functional and aesthetic rejuvenation of the pelvic floor.
