No, going back home to be with family is more stressful than being in the hospital another day or two. At home it is impossible to get the same cre service at home a you get at the hospital.
Thank you for information I didn’t even know before. I may need surgery soon, but had no idea there was such a thing as robotic surgery for these issues. Now I need to find a surgeon who does this procedure. (In Australia).
Dr Farnham performed my hysterectomy due to endometriosis 20+ years ago. Just had to get this surgery yesterday in Tucson with Dr Cliett. My bladder dropped. 😌 It stayed up for a while.
I have a prolaspe grade 3 and been told i have to have mesh surgery i am in complete agony day in day out with constant lower back pain that wont go away once ive had this surgery will my lower back pain go away at all please
I have a family member who is in her early 80s and has been suffering from prolapse for about a year now. Her doctor and gynecologist have not been able to determine how to help her. Then a relative shared this video link with us and it sounds like this procedure could be the answer! However, does her age affect her candidacy for this procedure?
Million$: Thanks for subscribing! Age is an independent risk factor for complications in all surgery and specifically Urogynecologic surgery. However age is NOT the only risk factor. We routinely see patients in their 80's who are healthier that other patients in their 50's who have metabolic syndrome. The surgery will depend on the surgeon's experience and skill and the patient's overall health. Patient's with complicated problems are best served by being referred to a board certified urogynecologist.
Had this surgery with mesh 6 months ago by a Board Certified urogynecologist to repair a rectocele, enterocele, and sigmoidocele along with perineal descent. Just a week after the surgery, I had the symptoms of bulging and something loose in the vagina again . Not just again, but I felt them 1000x worse. I still feel them today! Recent MRI Defecography after the surgery showed large rectocele and severe perineal descent again, along with severe Peritoneocele. Feels like I had a failed surgery for sure! Could you tell me what could have gone wrong? How can I fix this situation?
I had a hysterectomy in Dec. 2021 and my uterus was so large I had to have a vertical incision. My mesh eroded to lift my bladder and came thru my bladder. I then went to a different hospital and had a rectus fascia harvesting my own skin to hold up my bladder. I also had coaptite injections which eroded into my bladder. I would have no faith in this or any surgery for this problem.
Judith: thank you so much for sharing your story. We are so sorry to hear of your experience. Thanks for bringing up these important points. Informed consent is absolutely critical. Surgeons must discuss the benefits and the risks of surgery. surgery is Not the answer for every patient. vertical incisions and open surgery significantly increase the risk of complications. the most experienced surgeons are able to perform minimally invasive surgery even for extremely large uterus. it is important for patients to seek as many opinions as they need In order to find a provider who has the experience to manage complicated anatomy..
Your uterus has many benefits! It helps to hold up the pelvic floor and is a blood supply to the ovaries! The uterus is literally the heartbeat of the pelvic floor. If it is removed, it is like removing the support beams of a house. @@melaniej.roberts206
This is nice but not complete information. Press your doctor for the potential risks and make sure you understand how to manage your catheter in case your nurse doesn’t like mine and you end up with damage to your urethra and ureter
Hi there, Thank you for watching our sacrocolpopexy video and for sharing your concerns. You're absolutely right that it's essential for patients to have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure, including potential risks and how to manage any post-operative issues. In any medical procedure, it's crucial to have open and honest communication with your healthcare team, including your doctor and nurse. Asking questions about potential risks, complications, and post-operative care is a responsible and proactive approach to ensure the best possible outcome. Regarding catheter management, it's a valid point to discuss this with your healthcare provider as well. Understanding how to care for your catheter is important to prevent any complications. If you ever feel that your healthcare provider isn't providing you with sufficient information or support, don't hesitate to seek a second opinion or consult with a different healthcare professional. Our goal with this video is to provide a general overview of the sacrocolpopexy procedure, but it's important to remember that individual experiences can vary. Your healthcare team will be the best source of personalized information and guidance for your specific case. Thank you for bringing up these important points, and we encourage everyone to be proactive in their healthcare journey, asking questions, seeking clarity, and advocating for their own well-being. If you have any more questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider. Take care and stay informed!

What material is the mesh made of?
polypropylene amit mesh classification type 1 material. Lowest risk of infection of all mesh types
Is it necessary to have a hysterectomy for the sacroocolpopexy?
No it isn’t but if you are finished with childbearing there is no benefit to keeping your uterus
