Bengaluru, August 20, 2024 – Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road has successfully treated a 39-year-old NRI mother of two with stage 3 uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus slips out of its normal position.
The patient’s condition had worsened to the point where her uterus was protruding through her vagina, a rare scenario for someone her age, typically occurring post-menopause. The patient, who had been suffering from severe back pain, chronic lower abdominal pain, and discomfort, underwent a Robot-Assisted Sacro-Hysteropexy under the care of Dr. Rubina Shanawaz, Senior Consultant in Urogynaecology, Gynec-Oncology & Robotic Surgery.
Key Details:
- Condition: Stage 3 uterine prolapse
- Procedure: Robot-Assisted Sacro-Hysteropexy
- Surgeon: Dr. Rubina Shanawaz
- Outcome: Successful restoration of uterine support, preserving the uterus
- Recovery: Discharged the day after surgery; resumed normal activities with improved quality of life
Dr. Shanawaz used a special mesh to secure the uterus and strengthen the pelvic floor, avoiding the need for a hysterectomy. The patient has made remarkable progress, returning to her daily routine without issues in her menstrual cycle.
Akshay Oleti, Business Head at Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, praised the hospital’s commitment to integrating advanced technology and innovative medical solutions to enhance patient care and outcomes.
