Some of the general guidelines to follow at home after a rectal prolapse surgery are:
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code N76 N76.
Vaginal vault prolapse commonly occurs following a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus (womb)). Because the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition occurs in up to 40% of women after a hysterectomy. In a vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening.
A sacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that is caused by a weakening of the normal support of the pelvic floor, and is similar to a hernia in the vagina.
Vaginal prolapse, also known as vaginal vault prolapse, occurs when the top of the vagina weakens and collapses into the vaginal canal. In more serious cases of vaginal prolapse, the top of the vagina may bulge outside the vaginal opening.
INTRODUCTION. Vaginal cuff dehiscence is an uncommon but potentially morbid complication after hysterectomy. It is defined as separation of a vaginal cuff that was previously closed.
Vaginal vault prolapse is usually caused by a weakening of the supporting pelvic tissues and muscles at the top of the vagina, which then loses its normal shape and sags downward.
57425CPT-4 procedure codes were used to identify women who underwent open (code 57280) or laparoscopic (code 57425) sacrocolpopexy.
Sacrocolpopexy, also known as sacral colpopexy, is a type of reconstructive pelvic surgery that corrects pelvic organ prolapse involving the top of the vagina (vaginal vault) or the cervix (lower part of the uterus) that have dropped out of the normal position and protrude downward into the vagina.
A sacrospinous hysteropexy involves supporting the uterus using stitches to fix it to a strong ligament inside the pelvis. The operation is performed through the vagina and is often performed at the same time as other prolapse operations such as anterior and posterior repair.
A posterior vaginal prolapse occurs when the thin wall of tissue that separates the rectum from the vagina weakens, allowing the vaginal wall to bulge. Posterior vaginal prolapse is also called a rectocele (REK-toe-seel).
