"For so long, I had a sensation in my vagina that felt like something was going to fall out. I finally had the Apogee procedure and I feel as though my body has been restored."*
ApogeeTM Vaginal Vault Prolapse Repair System
ApogeeTM is a comprehensive, minimally invasive treatment designed to restore normal anatomy after vaginal vault prolapse. Vaginal vault prolapse occurs when the upper portion of the vagina (the apex) descends into the vaginal canal or outside the vagina.
During the Apogee procedure, a surgical mesh is placed in your body and is designed to restore the vaginal apex to a more normal position.
Sometimes, women have more than one organ prolapse at a time. The Apogee system comes with graft materials that allow for repair of intestinal bulges (enterocele) and rectal bulges (rectocele) during the same procedure, if necessary.
Benefits
The Apogee System offers many benefits:
- A comprehensive, minimally invasive solution for vaginal vault prolapse
- Desgined to restore normal anatomy without the risks associated with an open abdominal procedure
- Can include synthetic or biologic graft material that can be customized to best meet your needs
