Vault Prolapse Surgery

Overview

Vaginal vault prolapse occurs in women who have had a hysterectomy, where the top of the vagina loses support and descends. This surgery re-establishes pelvic support.

Indications

• Vaginal vault descent after hysterectomy
• Pelvic discomfort or feeling of vaginal bulge

Procedure

The vaginal vault is anchored either to the sacral bone (sacrocolpopexy) or the sacrospinous ligament to restore normal pelvic alignment.

Benefits

• Long-lasting correction
• Prevents recurrence of prolapse
• Improves pelvic function and comfort

Recovery

Most patients recover within 3–6 weeks, depending on surgical complexity.
