Modified vaginal tightening: Combining vaginal threads with vaginal tightening surgery
Objectives: With the presentation, audience will evaluate a new way of vaginal tightening surgery, observe different techniques of vaginal reconstruction and they may import combining procedures into their clinical practice.
Introduction: Vaginal tightening surgery is in increasing demand. Every day more women are asking for the reconstruction of the vaginal area for tightening and youthful appearance. Traditional vaginal tightening surgery requires a surgery room and hospital admission of the patient. The result of the current surgery is causing scar formation and dyspareunia in some women. With the new modified vaginal tightening technique, these risks are minimized. With this method, medical providers would be able to perform the vaginal tightening in their office setting, which will help them save time and money.
Materials / method: In this presentation, I would like to share a video describing the newly modified vaginal tightening surgery details, procedure pre-op planning, local anesthesia infiltration, and implanting the threads in the vagina. I would also like to share before and after videos of the (lived) patients who went through this procedure.I want to present the technique which I performed on 30 patients in my clinic. With this new technique, the surgery time is decreased to 60 min, the blood loss is minimal, downtime for the patient is decreased to 1 week, and the risk of dyspareunia is minimal, near to zero.
Results: Combining vaginal threads gives additional benefits to surgery, and it corrects urinary incontinence and stimulates the rejuvenation of the tissue, which increases the sensation in the anterior vaginal wall and increases the thickness of the vaginal mucosa with collagen and elastin production. Thanks to the vaginal threads, the surgical reconstruction level decreases to only correct the anatomical defects.
Conclusion: I believe that this technique will be embraced by the audience, thus leading to some significant changes in their procedural practices.
