What is Pelvic Floor Fixation?
Often termed sacrocolpopexy, Pelvic Floor Fixation is a highly effective surgical procedure that treats pelvic organ prolapse. Prolapse occurs when the muscles and connective tissue that support your pelvic organs (like the bladder, uterus, or rectum) become weak or damaged, causing these organs to slip out of their normal anatomical position.
During this minimally invasive procedure, your surgeon uses a specially designed surgical mesh to lift your pelvic organs back into place and securely anchor them. This provides long-term anatomical support, effectively resolving the physical bulging and restoring normal urinary and bowel functions.
Common Symptoms Addressed
Pelvic organ prolapse can severely impact your quality of life. Patients typically seek this corrective surgery after experiencing:

The Procedure, Step by Step
Sacrocolpopexy is performed under general anaesthesia using specialized, minimally invasive instrumentation to ensure exact mesh placement with minimal trauma to your body.
Anaesthesia & Access
After general anaesthesia is administered, the abdomen is inflated with CO₂ gas. A few tiny incisions are made to insert the surgical camera and instruments.
Organ Repositioning
The surgeon identifies the prolapsed organs (bladder, vagina, or rectum) and carefully lifts them back up into their correct, natural anatomical position.
Mesh Placement
A soft, synthetic surgical mesh is attached to the prolapsed tissue and secured to a strong ligament on your sacrum (tailbone) to hold everything firmly in place.
Closure & Healing
The mesh is carefully covered with a layer of natural tissue to prevent irritation. The small abdominal incisions are then closed with dissolving sutures.
What to Expect
Pelvic floor fixation offers a profound improvement in daily comfort and confidence. We believe in total transparency regarding the benefits and the rare but possible risks of mesh surgery.
Benefits
- Stops Urine LeakageRestoring the bladder to its correct position frequently resolves stress urinary incontinence.
- Relieves Pelvic PressureEliminates the uncomfortable dragging or heavy sensation associated with prolapsed organs.
- Long-Lasting ResultsSacrocolpopexy is considered the gold standard with the highest long-term success rate for prolapse repair.
- Improved Sexual FunctionCorrecting the anatomy often drastically improves comfort and eliminates pain during intercourse.
- Faster RecoveryThe minimally invasive abdominal approach allows for much faster healing than traditional open repairs.
Possible Risks
- Mesh ComplicationsThough rare with the abdominal approach, the mesh can sometimes erode into the vagina, requiring minor revision.
- New Urinary SymptomsCorrecting the prolapse can occasionally unmask minor urinary stress incontinence that wasn’t noticed before.
- Infection or BleedingAs with any surgery, there are risks of bleeding and infection, closely monitored by your surgical team.
- Injury to Adjacent OrgansA very low risk of injury to the bladder or bowel during the delicate tissue dissection process.
- Prolapse RecurrenceWhile highly durable, extreme physical strain over the years can cause prolapse in other areas of the pelvic floor.
Your Recovery Journey
While the incisions heal quickly, it’s vital to allow the internal mesh to properly integrate with your tissues. We emphasize a careful, phased return to activity.
You will be monitored carefully as you wake up. A urinary catheter may be in place temporarily. Pain management will be administered, and we will encourage you to take short walks to promote circulation.
Once your catheter is removed and you are walking and eating normally, you will be discharged. You will leave with a personalized care plan, prescriptions, and instructions on keeping your bowels moving easily.
Your primary job is to rest. Light walking around the house is excellent, but absolutely no lifting over 2-3 kg. You must avoid any straining during bowel movements to protect the new mesh fixation.
You will start feeling much more like yourself. Many patients return to desk work during this period. However, the strict restriction on lifting, squatting, and strenuous exercise remains in place.
By 6 weeks, the mesh has usually integrated well with your tissues. Your surgeon will evaluate you and likely clear you for heavier lifting, regular exercise, and resuming sexual intercourse.
When to Call Your Doctor
Recovery after pelvic floor fixation is generally safe, but complications can happen. Contact your Mitra Care team immediately if you experience any of the following:
Temperature above 38.5°C (101.3°F) lasting more than 24 hours post-discharge may indicate infection.
Soaking more than one pad per hour, or passing large clots, is a sign to seek immediate care.
Pain that is sudden, sharp, worsening, or not relieved by prescribed painkillers requires evaluation.
Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or bad-smelling discharge from any of the incision sites.
Inability to urinate, a sensation of incomplete emptying, or painful burning when you go.
Calf pain or sudden severe swelling in one or both legs may indicate a deep vein blood clot.
Frequently Asked Questions
We believe an informed patient makes the best decisions. Here are answers to the most common questions about pelvic floor fixation.
Yes, for many women, lifting the bladder and restoring the proper pelvic anatomy significantly improves or completely resolves stress urinary incontinence caused by prolapse.
Yes. The lightweight synthetic mesh used in modern sacrocolpopexy (placed via the abdomen) has a very high safety and success profile. This is completely different from the older transvaginal mesh procedures that carried higher risks.
Sacrocolpopexy is considered the gold standard and one of the most durable prolapse repairs available, offering permanent or long-term relief for the vast majority of patients.
Strict lifting restrictions (nothing over 4 kg) are required during the 6-week recovery phase. Even long-term, routine very heavy lifting should be avoided or discussed with your doctor to protect your repair and prevent future prolapse in other areas.
No. Our packages are transparent. The range depends on the severity of the prolapse and whether robotic assistance is utilized. The quoted price covers surgeon fees, anaesthesia, operating room costs, the surgical mesh, and the standard hospital stay. We will give you a fixed quote after your consultation.
Minimally Invasive vs. Open Repair
When treating pelvic organ prolapse, precision and durability are critical. Compare the surgical approaches to understand why minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy is the gold standard.
