Would someone be able to explain the difference between a Vaginectomy and Colpoclesis?
As was explained to me by a gyn surgeon friend, Colpocleisis is a type of obliterative surgery and it done for pelvic prolapse. The surgeon sews together the front and back walls of the vagina to shorten the vaginal canal which prevents the vagina walls from bulging inward, and provides support to hold up the uterus. A vaginectomy is done for disease (cancer) where the vagina is removed in part or totally.Would someone be able to explain the difference between a Vaginectomy and Colpoclesis?
