Treatment Overview
Reconstructive Pelvic Floor Surgery with Uterine Preservation is an advanced uterus-sparing pelvic reconstructive procedure designed to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) — where the uterus, bladder, vagina, or rectum descend due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues. Unlike traditional prolapse surgeries that involve hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), this method preserves the uterus while restoring natural pelvic support and function.
In Korea, this surgery is performed under Women’s Health / OBGYN – Surgical Gynecology using minimally invasive, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques. Korean hospitals are globally recognized for their expertise in fertility-preserving, mesh-free, and aesthetic-functional pelvic reconstruction, incorporating AI-guided pelvic mapping, micro-suturing, and 4K/3D imaging systems to achieve exceptional precision, safety, and long-lasting results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects uterine, vaginal, bladder, or rectal prolapse without removing the uterus.
- Preserves fertility, hormonal balance, and uterine function.
- Restores normal pelvic organ alignment and anatomical stability.
- Relieves symptoms like pelvic heaviness, vaginal bulging, urinary incontinence, and constipation.
- Improves sexual function and vaginal tone by restoring structural support.
- Minimally invasive – small incisions, less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery.
- Provides aesthetic-functional pelvic reconstruction with natural appearance and feel.
- Delivers durable, long-term results with low recurrence rates.
Ideal Candidates
- Women diagnosed with uterine prolapse who want to preserve their uterus.
- Patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) involving multiple compartments.
- Women experiencing pelvic pressure, vaginal bulging, or urinary dysfunction.
- Those seeking minimally invasive, uterus-sparing surgical options.
- Patients of reproductive age wishing to maintain fertility and hormonal balance.
- Women who desire natural and functional pelvic floor restoration.
Possible Risks & Complications
This surgery is considered extremely safe when performed in Korea’s leading OBGYN hospitals. However, as with any surgical procedure, mild and temporary side effects may occur:
- Light pelvic discomfort or spotting.
- Temporary urinary retention or constipation.
- Mild swelling or cramping during recovery.
- Rare infection or inflammation (managed with antibiotics).
- Minimal recurrence risk with proper postoperative care.
Korean hospitals use AI-assisted imaging, precision microsuturing, and advanced laparoscopic systems to minimize all potential complications and ensure optimal safety and results.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korean surgeons are global pioneers in uterus-preserving pelvic reconstructive surgery, offering a range of advanced, minimally invasive techniques customized to each patient’s anatomy and needs:
- Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy: Attaches the uterus to the sacrum using sutures or biocompatible mesh for long-term stability.
- Uterosacral Ligament Suspension (USLS): Repositions and supports the uterus using the patient’s natural ligaments.
- Sacrospinous Uterine Suspension: Anchors the uterus to the sacrospinous ligament via a small vaginal incision.
- High Uterosacral Ligament Fixation: Provides superior support for advanced prolapse.
- Mesh-Free Native Tissue Reconstruction: Reinforces the pelvic floor using the patient’s own fascia for natural, biocompatible repair.
- Robotic-Assisted Uterine Suspension (Da Vinci System): Enhances precision and safety through magnified 3D visualization.
- Hybrid Laparoscopic-Vaginal Reconstruction: Combines internal imaging with vaginal tightening for complete restoration.
- Laser-Assisted Collagen Regeneration: Stimulates tissue healing and strengthens natural support structures.
Korean hospitals often integrate AI-guided pelvic mapping, regenerative tissue therapy, and collagen strengthening for optimal outcomes and long-term durability.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days; outpatient options available for selected patients.
- Recovery time: Light activities resumed in 1–2 weeks, full recovery within 4–6 weeks.
- Temporary mild swelling or vaginal spotting may occur.
- Avoid sexual intercourse, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for 4–6 weeks.
- Gentle walking is encouraged early for better healing and blood circulation.
- Follow-up visits: Scheduled at 2 and 6 weeks after surgery.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy (Kegel exercises) recommended to maintain long-term strength and support.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate improvement in uterine and pelvic organ positioning.
- Restored pelvic stability, vaginal tone, and sexual comfort.
- Preserves uterine function and hormonal balance.
- Virtually invisible scars due to small laparoscopic incisions.
- Success rate above 95% in major Korean hospitals.
- Results typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care and physiotherapy.
