Prolift (pelvic mesh system)

Prolift is a surgical system that uses a mesh implant to support weakened or damaged pelvic tissues, often to treat pelvic organ prolapse. This condition occurs when organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum descend into the vaginal area due to weakened pelvic muscles. The mesh acts as a scaffold, reinforcing the tissues and helping them stay in their correct positions. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed through small incisions, and aims to restore normal function and improve symptoms like pressure or discomfort. However, like all surgeries, it carries potential risks and should be discussed thoroughly with a healthcare provider.
