Bladder Prolapse Surgery (Laparoscopic Cystocele Repair)
What Is Bladder Prolapse?
Bladder prolapse, also called cystocele, happens when the bladder drops from its normal position and bulges into the vaginal wall. It’s caused by weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and is common in women after childbirth, menopause, or pelvic surgery.
At A1 Laparoscopy Hospital, we offer laparoscopic cystocele repair — a safe, minimally invasive surgery that lifts and supports the bladder to restore normal function and relieve discomfort.
Who May Need This Surgery?
You may need bladder prolapse surgery if you experience:
- A bulge or pressure in the vaginal area
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, or lifting
- Lower back pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Incomplete relief from pelvic floor exercises
Our doctors will diagnose the stage and severity of the prolapse using a pelvic exam and imaging, and recommend the best treatment.
How the Procedure Works
- Surgery is performed under general anesthesia
- 2 to 3 small incisions are made in the lower abdomen
- A laparoscope (camera) and surgical tools are inserted
- The bladder is lifted and the vaginal wall is repaired using stitches or mesh
- The pelvic floor is reinforced to prevent future prolapse
- Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue
The surgery takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours.
