Treatment Overview
Pelvic Floor Reconstruction with Uterine Support is a comprehensive uterus-preserving surgical procedure designed to correct uterine prolapse and other forms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues. This surgery not only lifts and secures the uterus to its natural position but also rebuilds and reinforces the entire pelvic floor structure, restoring normal anatomy and function.
In Korea, this procedure is a cornerstone of Women’s Health / OBGYN – Surgical Gynecology, performed using laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and hybrid vaginal-laparoscopic approaches. Korean OBGYN surgeons are internationally recognized for their expertise in mesh-free, minimally invasive, and aesthetic-functional pelvic reconstruction, combining advanced 3D imaging, AI-guided surgical mapping, and micro-suturing techniques to ensure safe, durable, and natural results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects uterine prolapse, cystocele (bladder prolapse), rectocele (rectal prolapse), and vaginal vault prolapse.
- Restores the natural position of the uterus and reinforces pelvic support.
- Reconstructs pelvic muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue for long-term stability.
- Relieves symptoms such as vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and constipation.
- Minimally invasive — smaller incisions, less bleeding, and faster recovery.
- Maintains uterine function, fertility, and hormonal balance.
- Improves sexual function, bladder control, and pelvic comfort.
- Provides natural, mesh-free, and long-lasting results with minimal recurrence.
Ideal Candidates
- Women with uterine prolapse or multi-compartment pelvic organ prolapse.
- Patients seeking uterus preservation instead of hysterectomy.
- Women with pelvic floor weakness, often post-childbirth or postmenopausal.
- Patients with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or vaginal laxity.
- Those preferring a mesh-free or biologic graft reconstruction.
- Women who desire aesthetic, functional, and natural results with short recovery time.
Possible Risks & Complications
Pelvic Floor Reconstruction with Uterine Support is extremely safe when performed by Korean pelvic reconstructive specialists. However, minor side effects can include:
- Mild pelvic or abdominal soreness for a few days.
- Temporary urinary retention or constipation.
- Light vaginal spotting or swelling.
- Rare infection or inflammation (preventable with antibiotics).
- Minimal recurrence risk when aftercare protocols are followed.
Korean hospitals reduce these risks through laparoscopic 3D imaging, robotic precision, and AI-assisted surgical navigation, ensuring anatomical accuracy and enhanced safety.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korean OBGYN specialists use the most advanced native-tissue and minimally invasive reconstructive techniques to achieve natural, long-lasting pelvic support:
- Laparoscopic Pelvic Floor Reconstruction: The uterus is elevated and the pelvic floor muscles are reinforced using laparoscopic instruments and sutures.
- Uterosacral Ligament Suspension (USLS): Reattaches the uterus or vaginal vault to the uterosacral ligaments for strong, natural support.
- High Uterosacral Suspension (HUSLS): Provides superior suspension for advanced prolapse cases.
- Sacrohysteropexy (Uterine Suspension to Sacral Bone): Lifts and secures the uterus to the sacrum using sutures or a biocompatible graft.
- Mesh-Free Native Tissue Reconstruction: Uses the patient’s own tissue for pelvic floor strengthening, eliminating synthetic material risks.
- Hybrid Vaginal-Laparoscopic Reconstruction: Combines vaginal repair with laparoscopic visualization for complex prolapse correction.
- Robotic-Assisted Pelvic Reconstruction (Da Vinci System): Ensures unparalleled precision, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
These techniques are supported by laser-assisted collagen regeneration, AI-guided pelvic mapping, and microsurgical suturing for enhanced stability and aesthetic outcomes.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days; same-day discharge possible for select cases.
- Recovery time: Light activities in 1–2 weeks, full recovery in 4–6 weeks.
- Mild discomfort, cramping, or light vaginal bleeding may occur initially.
- Avoid sexual activity, tampon use, and heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks.
- Walking encouraged to promote healing and prevent complications.
- Follow-up visits: Typically at 2 and 6 weeks post-surgery.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy (Kegel exercises) recommended for long-term maintenance.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate relief from prolapse symptoms and pelvic pressure.
- Restoration of uterine position and pelvic organ alignment.
- Strengthened pelvic floor muscles and ligament support.
- Improved sexual function, urinary control, and confidence.
- Long-lasting, natural mesh-free results with a success rate of over 95% in Korean hospitals.
- Enhanced aesthetic and functional restoration of vaginal structure.
