Advanced surgical procedures for pelvic organ prolapseHave begun at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky City Hospital
In a significant development for women's health care in the Kamchatka region, the gynecological department of City Hospital No. 2 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has introduced high-tech medical care for pelvic organ prolapse treatment. This advancement marks a departure from the previously used outdated protocols, offering local residents specialized care without the need to travel outside the region.
The new service, developed by the N.I. Pirogov National Medical Surgical Center, involves the use of a mesh device called "Urosling-1" in surgeries performed on the pelvic area. This innovative technology allows for the preservation of the uterus during surgery, an important consideration for patients.
Olga Tarantseva, the head of the gynecological department at Hospital No. 2, has confirmed that the staff has successfully performed five such operations. The staff underwent special training to perform pelvic organ prolapse surgeries using high-tech procedures, ensuring the highest standards of care.
The new technology offers the advantage of being able to treat pelvic organ prolapse cases that were previously considered too complex. Over time, the implant integrates with the body, forming a supportive ligament for internal organs, providing long-term benefits for patients.
Starting from June 2025, City Hospital No. 2 will offer these high-tech surgeries for treating pelvic organ prolapse. The effectiveness of the procedures has been confirmed by Olga Tarantseva, ensuring that local residents have access to effective, modern medical care.
While specific details about the effectiveness and training for staff in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are not currently available, it is generally known that high-tech pelvic organ prolapse treatment often includes minimally invasive surgeries using robotic assistance, specialized meshes, or advanced pessaries, combined with pelvic floor physical therapies. Effectiveness depends on the technique and patient condition but tends to be improved with modern surgical methods.
This development is expected to greatly improve the quality of life for many women in the Kamchatka region, providing them with access to advanced medical care closer to home.
- The innovative high-tech pelvic organ prolapse treatment, which includes the use of specialized meshes like "Urosling-1" and minimally invasive surgeries, is set to expand health-and-wellness options for women in the Kamchatka region, as City Hospital No. 2 plans to start offering these advanced procedures from June 2025.
- This progressive development in women's health not only introduces science-led therapies-and-treatments for complex pelvic organ prolapse cases, but also emphasizes on pelvic floor physical therapies, thereby providing comprehensive care for local residents and potentially enhancing their overall health and quality of life.
