abdominal sacrocolpopexyFrom: Mary (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 18 Jul 2000 00:57:04 -0500 (CDT)
I have an abdominal sacrocolpopexy scheduled August 10, 2000. I can't find information on the web about it. Last June,1999 I had a laposcopic hysterectomy by the same Doctor. The purpose was bladder repair done by a separate Urologist where I got a sling. Then my gyn. did the hysterectomy including rectocele and cystocele. I am 54, I have 2 children now 23 & 24.They were 8'10" and 9'2" babies I had by Lamanze natural childbirth with only an apeseonomy and maybe a couple locals. I had a vaginal tack by a different Doctor for incontinence within 5 years of birth of second child. It was unsuccessful. I have had stress incontinence since my first pregnancy until I got the sling last year. Sometimes mornings, I have urge incontinence now, I may have had it all along and just didn't realize till after I quit wearing pads. ( I notice it depends on how much I have to drink in the evening before bedtime. ) I am asking for a cat scan of my abdomin before surgery because my abdomin looks as if I am 9 months pregnant today and has been that way since the birth of my last child. I have weak stomach muscles and diet has not helped. ( it hurts to do sit-ups ) My posture is not as straight as it should be, my Mother has always told me to stand up straight. Since the Doctor says that my vaginal prolapse is almost always accompanied by enteroccle, now more than ever I wonder if there is something in my abdomin area causing all the problem? (Since Enteroccle is when intestine bulges into the upper vagina, it seems to me it is pushing from up there- the abdomin area- and if it does turn out to be just fat given my history; doesn't it need to be checked & verified before I start a program at the gym to try to loose it?) I am worried that this operation will only go to another because we haven't determined what is the cause of my insides all falling. ( I remember the Doctor would always say my cervix was midway in office exams.) Thank you for your answer. PS I assume abdominal sacrocolpopexy means operation repairing vaginal prolapse and enterocele, since that's what is to be done.
