vaginal obliteration

The main point of vaginal obliteration is speed and simplicity.

General, regional, or local anesthesia may be used for vaginal obliteration.

Vaginal obliteration is done by removing the entire vaginal lining except for 1 in.

Complications of vaginal obliteration are uncommon.

Vaginal obliteration is an effective treatment for vaginal vault or uterine prolapse.

Vaginal obliteration is done to correct severe uterine or vaginal vault prolapse in an older woman who no longer desires sexual intercourse or whose other chronic health problems make a longer surgical procedure more dangerous.

Because vaginal obliteration is a relatively brief surgical procedure, it may be performed when a woman has one or more severe long-term (chronic) medical conditions, such as asthma or heart disease, that make a longer procedure more of a risk.
