How Should Bladder Prolapse Be Surgically Managed And Permanently Treated?
Question: I AM HAVING SURGERY FOR A PROLAPSED BLADDER AND AN OVARY AND UTERUS REMOVED.
tHE DOCTOR WILL DO ROBOTIC SURGERY AND I BELIEVE PUT IN A SLING TO HOLD UP THE BLADDER.
WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO JUST SEW UP THE BLADDER. I AM NOT HAVING SEX AND DONT PLAN ON THAT

Brief Answer:
Only bladder repair will not help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Just sewing up the bladder alone without removing uterus and ovaries will continue to put pressure on the bladder and there will be higher chances of having a recurrent prolapse. It is best to get the uterus and ovary removed and repair the prolapsed bladder with the help of a sling.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
