At a Glance

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common occurrence for women who have undergone childbirth. Pessaries and surgical methods are available, however, a new solution is laser treatment.

To treat POP, Centre for Surgery uses Fotona’s ProlapLase laser treatment.

About

Other treatments to treat POP can often include surgery or the use of a pessary. Both of these methods have often had many complications and various side effects, and as such have not been a desirable option for women.

The ProLapse treatment uses the Er:YAG laser therapy. This laser stimulates collagen fibre production. This process shrinks and tightens the vaginal canal without the removal of any tissue.

There are many benefits to undergoing this procedure, such as:

No anaesthesia required
No recovery time – can immediately return to your usual activities
No incisions or sutures involved
No pre-op or post-op precautions

Candidates

You will be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you are wishing to treat POP and do not want to undergo surgery or use pessaries.

Prior to undergoing this procedure, you will need to attend a consultation with one of our surgeons. They will be able to assess whether or not this procedure is suitable for you or whether other options will be better.

Procedure

ProlapLase treatment involves using Fotona’s Er:YAG laser in mucosa tissue, which stimulates collagen remodelling and collagen tissue production.

There are three steps involved in the ProlapLase process. This is:

360° irradiation of the vaginal canal
Angular irradiation on the side of the vaginal wall which is prolapsed
Irradiation of the prolapsed vaginal wall and vestibule region

To continue to improve the POP, you may need to undergo repeat sessions. Generally, patients will require up to four sessions.

Recovery

As this is a non-surgical procedure, there is no recovery involved. You will be able to resume your usual day to day routine straight after the procedure.

This is the 1st time I have ever visited a Private surgery. I had been doing my due diligence and found other surgeries just wanted to talk about money and not about what I wanted. Within Five minutes of meeting Dr Omar Tillo, I knew that I had found the right person for me. Dr Tillo and his entire team offer a first class service, I cannot rate this practice enough and would recommend them to anyone. The office and more importantly the operation area is spotless, nothing was rushed and all the way through from the nurses, anesthesiologist and finally Mr Tillo informed me of what was happening and that I was Ok. I am not one for surgery but wanted to change something that I wasn’t happy with, my only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. The reason for this post is to reassure anyone looking for a good practice to change their lives. This place is top draw.

I would recommend anyone looking to have a cosmetic surgery to visit the Centre For Surgery. I had two procedures done the same day, forehead osteoma excision and an open septo-rhinoplasty under their general anaesthesia technique – known as ClearSleep™, it allows you o be discharged the same day, right after the surgery you'll be able to get up and dress yourself with very little drowsiness that subsides within the following 30 minutes. The medical technique used by the surgeon for the rhinoplasty also made my recovery period very easy with little bruising and swelling that went away very quick. I didn't take any pain-killers as there was no need for them, only antibiotics pills for a week and some antibiotic cream for the incision between the nostrils.The process from first consultation to post-operative visits was a bliss. Nikesh Shah the patient coordinator was fantastic and made it all very easy for me as I live 6700 miles away from London and we needed to work around my visits to the UK. Dr Onur Gilleard is the kind of Surgeon you want, knowledgeable, patient, calm and reassuring, I had two visits pre-surgery and one post-surgery with him, every time I felt I was what mattered the most at that moment. The Nurses and the Anesthesiologist were fabulous during the day of the surgery, I wasn't particularly nervous but they made sure I had any questions answered prior to the surgery and had smile on their faces all the time while displaying high professionalism at all times. Post-operative visits went very well and eight days after my surgery I was flying back. It's been almost two months now and I'm very pleased with the results, which are very natural and most people after the second week couldn't tell I had any procedure done. You can have a chaperon and driver booked by the Centre For Surgery to go back to your hotel, it was a great service. Post-surgery you will be called every day to check how you are doing/feeling and if there is anything you need until you decide that the calls can stop.Overall a fantastic experience with the Centre for Surgery and their staff, which I have already recommended to many of my friends looking to have a cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Omar Tillo performed a bilateral otoplasty a few weeks ago and the results are better than I ever expected. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Tillo to perform my surgery. I visited both clinics for various appointments and they both are of a very high standard; all staff members were professional and very caring. I would highly recommend this practice. Thank you for the amazing job you performed.
