Treatment Overview
Comprehensive Pelvic Organ Reconstruction is an advanced, multi-dimensional pelvic floor reconstructive surgery designed to repair, realign, and strengthen the entire pelvic support system. This includes the uterus, bladder, vagina, and rectum, which may become displaced or weakened due to childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. The procedure restores the natural position and function of pelvic organs, providing both structural stability and aesthetic harmony.
In Korea, this surgery falls under Women’s Health / OBGYN – Surgical Gynecology and is one of the most advanced and integrated treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Korean OBGYN specialists utilize laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and hybrid mesh-free reconstruction techniques with 4K/3D imaging, AI-guided surgical mapping, and micro-suturing technology, ensuring precise, minimally invasive, and long-lasting results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects uterine, vaginal, bladder, and rectal prolapse simultaneously.
- Restores normal pelvic organ position and function.
- Rebuilds and strengthens pelvic floor muscles, fascia, and ligaments.
- Relieves symptoms such as vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure, urinary leakage, and constipation.
- Preserves the uterus and fertility when desired.
- Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions and faster recovery.
- Improves sexual function, bladder control, and bowel regulation.
- Offers long-term results, natural aesthetics, and minimal recurrence.
Ideal Candidates
- Women diagnosed with multi-compartment pelvic organ prolapse (uterine, vaginal, or rectal).
- Patients experiencing pelvic heaviness, urinary incontinence, or vaginal bulging.
- Women with weakened pelvic support after childbirth or menopause.
- Patients preferring uterus-preserving, minimally invasive reconstruction.
- Those who have undergone previous pelvic surgery or hysterectomy and developed vault prolapse.
- Women desiring functional and aesthetic pelvic restoration.
Possible Risks & Complications
Comprehensive Pelvic Organ Reconstruction is safe and effective when performed in Korea’s top hospitals by trained specialists. Minor and temporary side effects may include:
- Mild pelvic or abdominal soreness.
- Temporary urinary retention or constipation.
- Light vaginal discharge or spotting.
- Rare infection or inflammation (easily treated).
- Very low recurrence rate with proper aftercare.
- Rare risk of nerve or vascular irritation minimized through AI-guided surgical imaging.
Korean OBGYN surgeons use laparoscopic magnification, micro-suturing, and robotic precision to ensure safety, anatomical accuracy, and excellent functional outcomes.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korean hospitals perform Comprehensive Pelvic Organ Reconstruction using a combination of advanced minimally invasive and native-tissue techniques to address all levels of pelvic floor support:
- Laparoscopic Pelvic Floor Reconstruction: Rebuilds pelvic fascia and ligament structures using laparoscopic instruments.
- Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Wall Reconstruction: Corrects bladder (cystocele) and rectal (rectocele) prolapse.
- Apical Support Suspension (Uterosacral or Sacrospinous Fixation): Lifts and stabilizes the top of the vagina or uterus.
- Sacrocolpopexy / Sacrohysteropexy: Attaches the vaginal apex or uterus to the sacrum using sutures or a biocompatible mesh for strong long-term support.
- Perineorrhaphy (Perineal Repair): Reconstructs and tightens the perineal body for enhanced support and aesthetics.
- Mesh-Free Native Tissue Reconstruction: Utilizes the patient’s own fascia and ligaments for a natural repair.
- Robotic-Assisted Pelvic Reconstruction (Da Vinci System): Offers unparalleled precision, dexterity, and visualization for complex multi-compartment repairs.
- Hybrid Vaginal-Laparoscopic Reconstruction: Combines vaginal access with internal laparoscopic control for thorough and symmetrical restoration.
Korean hospitals often integrate laser-assisted collagen strengthening, AI-guided pelvic floor analysis, and tissue regenerative therapy to enhance healing and prevent recurrence.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days; same-day discharge possible for minimally invasive cases.
- Recovery time: Light activities resumed in 1–2 weeks, full recovery in 4–6 weeks.
- Mild swelling, cramping, or light vaginal discharge is normal initially.
- Avoid sexual activity, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks.
- Gentle walking and hydration promote faster healing.
- Follow-up visits: At 2 and 6 weeks post-surgery.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy (Kegel exercises) recommended for long-term support and strength maintenance.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate improvement in pelvic organ position and prolapse symptoms.
- Restoration of pelvic balance, function, and stability.
- Enhanced sexual comfort, urinary control, and vaginal tone.
- Virtually invisible scars due to minimal incision size.
- Long-term success rate exceeding 95% in Korea’s leading hospitals.
- Durable results that can last 10–15 years or more with proper care.
