Gynaecological SurgeryAbout this service
Cervical tear repair in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is a surgical repair of a tear to the cervix, most often sustained during childbirth. A tear can happen even during an otherwise straightforward delivery, and prompt, careful repair helps support proper healing afterwards. Your doctor will assess the extent of the tear and repair it using appropriate technique and anaesthetic where needed.
This is typically addressed as part of your care around delivery, and your doctor will explain what happened and what to expect during recovery. If you have concerns about healing after a cervical tear, book a follow-up consultation with us.
