Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Rising Popularity of Minimally Invasive Procedures - Laparoscopic prolapse repair is a minimally invasive surgical method that uses a video camera to guide numerous tiny incisions that are used to reconstruct the pelvic floor in a safe and long-lasting manner.
• Growing Awareness Regarding Women's Reproductive Health- For instance, more than 50% of married or cohabiting women in several developing nations make their own decisions on sexual activity, the use of contraceptives, and access to reproductive health services.

Challenges

• Post-Surgery Complications - When surgeons execute a vaginal repair to treat pelvic organ prolapse, there have been difficulties including bleeding, infection, and temporary damage to the muscles or nerves caused by the position of the patient during the procedure.

Moreover, the use of surgical mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse through the vagina is associated with an increased incidence of mesh-related complications that will protrude into the vaginal canal via the surgical incision that can be referred to as mesh erosion which can result in pain during intercourse, pelvic pain.

For instance, postoperative infection (4%) and bleeding or hematoma (2%) were the most common problems, with the majority occurring within two months following surgery.

• Limited Awareness About Pelvic Health Issues
• Exorbitant Cost of Surgical Procedures and Chances of Repetitive Occurrence
