Recurrent Vaginal Vault Prolapse Repair in Windhoek

About this service

Recurrent vaginal vault prolapse repair in Windhoek is surgery to correct a bulge or enterocele that has returned after a previous prolapse operation, most often after a hysterectomy. It is considered when the top of the vagina loses its support again, causing symptoms such as a noticeable bulge, pelvic pressure or discomfort to come back.

Because this is a repeat procedure, your doctor will carefully assess what happened previously and plan the most suitable repair for your anatomy. Eastgate Clinic performs this repair in our on-site day theatre, working closely with you through assessment and recovery.

What to expect

• A thorough pelvic examination and review of your previous surgery is done before planning
• The repair is carried out under anaesthesia
• A short hospital stay may be needed depending on the extent of surgery
• Some vaginal discharge and discomfort is expected during initial healing
• Your doctor will advise on activity limits and follow-up to support lasting results
