Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery from expert surgeon Leslie Kardos
At Pacific Obstetrics and Gynecology Medical Group, Dr’s Kardos and Wittenburg are trained in the latest treatment methods for vaginal prolapse treatment using pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Vaginal Prolapse Treatment
In treating or repairing vaginal prolapsed “apical” suspensions are used to restore the support of the top of the vagina (vaginal vault). Procedures used include:
- Abdominal Sacral Colopexy (ASC) – performed through an incision in the abdomen either laparoscopically or robotically, ASC involves the use of graft material to reinforce the walls of the vagina by forming straps that, when attached to the ligaments overlying the sacrum, support and suspend the vagina over the pelvic muscles and backbone.
- Uteroscral or Sacropinous Ligament Fixation – this procedure involves suspending the vagina to a patient’s own uterosacral ligament or sacrospinous ligaments. Graft material can also be added to improve the durability of the repair.

“Because of its precision, Dr. Kardos says the daVinci can perform common procedures in the uterus, such as removing fibroids, without damaging surrounding tissue — which is many cases, allows a woman to preserve her fertility even after the surgery.” Read more information from ABC 7 News.
