OP suspension and pelvic floor reconstructive surgery

A suspension or reconstructive surgery in the pelvic area is a tightening of the muscle and layers of connective tissue. The tissue is usually stabilised using stitches but also endogenous tissue or plastic mesh. This procedure is advised for patients suffering symptoms such as incontinence or pain caused by a prolapse of the pelvis and pelvic organs. The Swiss Atlas of Healthcare contains analyses on the frequency of OP suspensions and pelvic floor reconstructive surgery in inpatient settings.
