Fundatect

Fundatect is a surgical procedure designed to correct a condition known as fundus diastasis, which is a separation of the muscles that support the uterus. This condition can occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or after childbirth, and it can lead to a weakened pelvic floor and potential issues with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction.

The fundatect procedure involves the surgical repair of the weakened muscles, typically using sutures or mesh to strengthen the area. The goal of the surgery is to restore the normal function of the pelvic floor muscles, thereby improving urinary control, reducing the risk of prolapse, and enhancing sexual function.

Fundatect is often recommended for women who have experienced multiple pregnancies or have a history of pelvic floor injuries. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with patients returning home the same day. Recovery from the procedure usually involves a period of rest and physical therapy to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

The success rate of fundatect is generally high, with many women experiencing significant improvements in their symptoms. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. As with any medical intervention, it is important for patients to discuss the procedure thoroughly with their healthcare provider to understand the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes.
