Vaginal vault prolapse occurs when the upper portion of the vagina, called the apex, sags or bulges down into the vaginal canal or outside the vagina. The Straight-InTM procedure implants a mesh from the top of the vaginal apex to your sacrum to provide a "sling" of support.
The use of surgical mesh for reinforcement is not new. It has been used extensively in surgery, especially in hernia repairs. The mesh is designed to conform to your anatomy. It has many holes designed to allow your body tissue to grow into it to provide a framework of support. |
