What is Lap Sling Surgery?
Laparoscopic sling surgery for pectopexy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, slip out of place and protrude into the vaginal wall. This condition can cause discomfort, urinary or bowel problems, and sexual dysfunction.
The laparoscopic sling surgery for pectopexy involves the use of a small camera and instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. A mesh sling is placed underneath the prolapsed organ(s) to provide support and hold them in place. The mesh is then secured to the abdominal wall, providing a long-lasting and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. The laparoscopic sling surgery for pectopexy is a safe and effective procedure, but as with any surgery, it does carry some risks. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, mesh erosion, and bladder or bowel injury. Your surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with you and help you decide if it is the best option for you.

The mesh sling is then secured to the abdominal wall, typically with sutures or staples. The surgery may involve placing multiple mesh slings, depending on the extent of the pelvic organ prolapse.
