Vaginal prolapse can occur due to stretching or damage of the uterosacral ligaments. Mesh-Free Robotic Colpopexy is done by a plication (bringing together) and elevation of the ligaments with sutures. This corrects the stretching and damage of the ligaments, resulting in an elevation of the vagina and correction of the prolapse. This also results in a lengthening of the vagina.

In women who also have a rectocele, a posterior colporrhaphy is performed at the time of the Mesh-Free Robotic Colpopexy. Posterior colporrhaphy involves a plication of the supportive tissue between the rectum and vagina which reduces a bulge of the back side of the vagina.
For symptoms of “vaginal looseness,” perineoplasty or vaginal rejuvenation involving a tightening of the vagina is also performed.
Optimal treatment is based on each individual patient’s history, her desired outcome and a physical exam.

Dr. Shashoua and his ENTIRE staff are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend! I had a hysterectomy, mid-urethral sling, and davinci uterosacral colpopexy right before Thanksgiving and Dr. Shashoua made sure to follow up with me several times during the Holiday Break which brought me great comfort. Thanks again for the great care!
I'm not in need of care any longer since all went well with my surgical procedure. I would not hesitate to refer other women for evaluation (and care) of female pelvic problems with Dr. Shashoua and his team. If you decide to see him, you'll experience what clinically competent, patient-centered care really feels like.
