The loss of pelvic floor support can result in prolapse of pelvic organs.  These include the bladder (cystocele), the rectum (rectocele), the uterus, and the vagina after a hysterectomy.  Our physicians are skilled in evaluating and treating these conditions.

Treatment options include:

• Fitting, placement and management of a pessary (device inserted into the vagina to replace prolapsed tissue)

• Surgery to repair cystocele (prolapsed bladder)
  

• Surgery to repair rectocele (prolapsed rectum)
  

• Surgery to suspend prolapsed vagina using a technique that does not require an abdominal incision

• Hysterectomy to remove a prolapsed uterus

• Surgery to suspend a prolapsed uterus in patients who want to maintain their fertility
