Pelvic Surgery

The operations performed for the treatment of uterine prolapse are referred to in medicine as pelvic surgery. With pelvic reconstructive surgery, problems such as difficulty urinating or incontinence, and prolapse of the uterus, the last part of the large intestine, and the bladder can be treated surgically. At the same time, issues such as chronic pelvic pain, fallopian tube blockages, ovarian cysts, and cancer can also be resolved with this surgery.

I accept patients at my clinic in Ankara and in Istanbul on certain days of the month. I offer the best solutions to my patients who apply to us due to health problems related to the pelvic floor. We also have treatment options with different techniques that I launched in the world and that are accepted, which I developed personally and tailored to the individual.

What Does Pelvic Mean?

Where is the pelvic region in women? This region is the lowest part of the abdomen below the navel. Women’s ovaries, vagina, anus, urinary tract, and bladder are located in this area.

For disorders in the pelvic region, pelvic floor exercises at home can be performed and muscle exercise may have benefits. However, Kegel exercises alone may not be sufficient for the treatment of health problems that occur here. With pelvic surgery, it is possible to treat the problems in the area. Pelvic pain that occurs in the pelvic region also requires treatment.

Pelvic Floor Diseases

In the pelvic region, women have pelvic organs that enable urination, defecation, and reproduction. These organs are the rectum, urinary bladder, urethra, uterus, ovaries, and vagina. In addition, the pelvic floor has flexible muscles, nerves, and connective tissues.

In particular, having strong pelvic floor muscles is extremely important for both sexuality and urination and defecation. If these muscles are not strong, stool and urine leakage becomes unavoidable, and sexuality becomes more difficult.

Pelvic floor diseases are generally frequently encountered in older women and also in women who have given birth. Of course, difficulties experienced during birth and the number of births are also among the causes of pelvic diseases. Conditions such as after large intestine, small intestine, or uterine surgeries, excessive weight, radiotherapy, and long-term constipation are also among the causes of pelvic floor diseases.

Can Pelvic Floor Diseases Be Treated?

Pelvic floor diseases, which we encounter frequently and which negatively affect women’s quality of life, are definitely among serious health problems. However, the fact that most people do not take these diseases seriously and do not want to look for solutions to their problems causes treatment to be neglected. In particular, accepting problems such as urinary incontinence, long-term constipation, or pain as normal is also among the reasons why women avoid treatment.

With us, today many women prefer different pelvic surgery practices in order to research and prevent their diseases. With these practices, which vary from person to person, we offer treatment options for pelvic floor muscle diseases at our clinic in Ankara.

What Can We Do With Pelvic Surgery?

First of all, preliminary tests are performed to make a diagnosis for our patients who apply to our clinic with complaints related to the pelvic region. In the preliminary tests, with pelvic surgery;

• If our patient has pain, the cause of the pain is examined and the cause is determined.

• When we observe any tissue mass, ovarian cyst, or an abnormal condition related to a tumor, it is examined in detail. In such a case, if present, the degree of ovarian, endometrial, or cervical cancer is observed.

• Possible blockages in the fallopian tube or ectopic pregnancy conditions are investigated.

• Problems that may cause infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease are examined and diagnosed.

• In addition to all these, when we deem it necessary, a biopsy is also performed during pelvic laparoscopy.

Also, with pelvic surgery treatment;

• Removal of scar tissue in endometriosis and tissues considered abnormal,

• In cases where the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes are damaged,

• Removal of an ectopic pregnancy,

• Removal of lymph nodes if there is cancer in this region,

• We can resolve health problems such as appendectomy and removal of the uterus.

How Is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery Performed?

Before the surgery, general anesthesia is administered so that you sleep and therefore do not feel pain. However, in some cases, this operation is also performed using regional anesthesia. In the pelvic organ prolapse surgery that we perform with local anesthesia, it is possible to feel a mild burning sensation when we inject anesthesia into your pelvic area. When the anesthesia becomes fully effective, the operation is started.

This operation is performed by making a small incision through the navel. During pelvic organ prolapse surgery, a special telescope is inserted through the 3 small incisions we open. Thus, the pelvic floor and every stage performed here are watched enlarged on the screen.

During the operation, the prolapsed pelvic organs are held, and both the muscles and connective tissues are stitched with non-absorbable surgical sutures. The purpose of these surgical sutures here is to provide long-term support between the injured tissues and to form a bridge.

Pelvic surgery is a practical, easy, and comfortable procedure for our patients that we frequently prefer in our clinic, especially in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

What You Should Pay Attention to After Pelvic Surgery

There are things our patients need to pay attention to after the operation. These are stated to our patients by us both before and after the operation. After the pelvic floor surgeries we perform in our clinic, the things our patients should pay attention to in particular are as follows;

• You should rest for the period we recommend,

• You should perform your daily needs with more care and attention,

• You should also consult us about important activities you plan to do,

• You should walk slowly in the early period after the operation,

• You should not run, jump, or lift heavy things.

• Especially after pelvic surgery, you should practice sexual abstinence for approximately 30 days and you should not have sexual intercourse without our approval.

• In case you feel pain due to the operation or experience nausea and vomiting, you should consult us and use the medications we recommend.

What Are the Advantages of Pelvic Floor Surgery?

The most well-known advantages of pelvic floor surgery are as follows:

• This surgical method is important for the diagnosis of pelvic diseases and provides a definitive diagnosis. Thus, it offers the possibility of early treatment especially in uterine diseases.

• Since the need for vaginal surgery decreases with surgery, risk factors that cause vaginal wounds are also eliminated.

• After the operation, pelvic anatomy heals on its own without the need for any intervention.

• Compared to other open surgeries, the recovery time after pelvic surgery is short and there is not much damage to the body.

• Treatment Planning: After diagnosis, the pelvic surgeon determines the most appropriate treatment option for the patient’s condition. At this stage, the patient’s preferences and expectations are also taken into account.

• Surgical Preparation: Before the surgical procedure, the patient’s general health condition is evaluated, necessary tests are performed, and anesthesia planning is carried out.

• Surgical Application: Pelvic surgery procedures are generally performed with laparoscopic or robotic methods. These minimally invasive techniques allow the patient to recover faster.

• Recovery Process: After surgery, patients are kept under observation in the hospital for a certain period. Then they are discharged and continue the recovery process at home. The pelvic surgeon follows up with the patient regularly.

• Outcome Evaluation: After surgery, it is evaluated whether the patient’s complaints have been resolved and what level the quality of life is at. If necessary, additional treatment planning is performed.
