Sacrocolpopexy (Vault Suspension)

Advanced Surgical Care for Pelvic Organ Prolapse by Dr. Richa Arora Miglani

Dr. Richa Arora Miglani, a highly skilled Gynaecological Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeon, offers Sacrocolpopexy (Vault Suspension) — a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore normal pelvic anatomy and function in women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse, particularly vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy.

What is Sacrocolpopexy?

Sacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure to correct vaginal vault prolapse, a condition in which the top of the vagina (vaginal vault) descends due to weakened pelvic support tissues.
During the surgery, a synthetic mesh is used to attach the vaginal vault to the sacrum (lower spine), providing strong and long-lasting support to the vaginal walls and restoring the natural position of pelvic organs.

Who Needs Sacrocolpopexy?

This surgery is recommended for women who:

  • Experience vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy

  • Have pelvic pressure, bulging, or a dragging sensation

  • Face urinary incontinence or difficulty with bowel movements due to prolapse

  • Desire a long-term anatomical repair with preservation of vaginal function

Types of Sacrocolpopexy Offered

Dr. Richa Arora Miglani specializes in:

  • Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy – Performed through small incisions using advanced laparoscopic instruments for faster recovery and minimal scarring.

  • Robotic Sacrocolpopexy – Utilizes robotic precision for enhanced visualization and surgical accuracy, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.

Procedure Overview

  1. Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

  2. Access: Small incisions are made in the abdomen for laparoscopic or robotic instruments.

  3. Mesh Placement: A surgical mesh is used to attach the top of the vagina to the sacrum.

  4. Closure: The incisions are closed carefully, and the patient is moved to recovery.

The entire procedure typically takes 2–3 hours, and most patients can return home within 1–2 days after surgery.
