Cystocele Repair

Restoring Comfort and Bladder Function

Dr. Horovitz specializes in Cystocele Repair, a surgical procedure designed to correct bladder prolapse, a condition where the bladder drops from its normal position and bulges into the vagina. This can lead to discomfort, urinary issues, and other complications. Through his expertise, Dr. Horovitz offers both minimally invasive and traditional surgical options to restore bladder support and improve your quality of life.

What Is a Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse)?

A cystocele, or bladder prolapse, occurs when the tissues and muscles supporting the bladder become weakened or stretched, often due to childbirth, aging, or heavy lifting. This causes the bladder to sag into the vaginal wall, leading to symptoms such as:

• Urinary incontinence or leakage.

• Difficulty emptying the bladder.

• A bulge or pressure sensation in the vaginal area.

• Frequent urinary tract infections.

When Is Cystocele Repair Necessary?

Dr. Horovitz may recommend cystocele repair if:

• You experience moderate to severe symptoms affecting your quality of life.

• Non-surgical treatments like pelvic floor exercises have not been effective.

• The cystocele is causing significant urinary issues, discomfort, or recurrent infections.

How Is Cystocele Repair Performed?

There are several techniques for repairing a cystocele, and Dr. Horovitz will recommend the best option based on the severity of the condition and your overall health.

1. Minimally Invasive Approach: In many cases, a minimally invasive repair can be performed using small incisions and advanced techniques to reinforce the weakened tissue.

2. Traditional Surgery: For more severe cases, a conventional surgical approach may be necessary, where the vaginal wall is strengthened with sutures or mesh to support the bladder.

3. Recovery: Recovery typically involves a short hospital stay, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. Dr. Horovitz provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
