Pelvic floor
reconstruction
Surgical restoration of pelvic floor function and comfort
Pelvic organ prolapse affects quality of life in ways that are often not discussed openly. German Select provides a structured, private and medically precise pathway, from consultation through surgery to full recovery.
When it becomes relevant
A condition that affects
daily life quietly
Pelvic floor weakness often develops gradually. Many women experience symptoms for years before seeking treatment. Partly because the condition is not widely discussed, and partly because they are unsure whether surgery is the right step.
Pelvic floor reconstruction is considered when conservative treatments, physiotherapy, pelvic floor exercises, supportive devices, no longer provide sufficient relief, or when the prolapse is affecting daily function and comfort significantly.
Causes
Childbirth is the most common cause. Other contributing factors include chronic heavy lifting, chronic disease, previous pelvic surgery or prolonged increased abdominal pressure.
Symptoms
A feeling of pressure or fullness in the pelvis, discomfort during physical activity, urinary or bowel changes, or a visible or palpable bulge in the vaginal area.
Who this affects
Pelvic organ prolapse is common, significantly more common than is openly discussed. It is not a cosmetic concern. It is a structural one, and it is treated as such at German Select.
How it works
How pelvic floor
reconstruction works
The procedure strengthens the internal support structures of the pelvic floor. The approach is determined by the location and extent of the prolapse. Anterior, posterior, or combined.
01
Assessment & planning
Your specialist reviews your medical history, symptoms and gynaecological assessment. The extent and location of the prolapse is confirmed and a surgical plan is agreed before travel.
02
The procedure
The vaginal wall is opened and internal stitches are placed to strengthen weak areas of the pelvic floor. The wall is then closed. The procedure takes approximately 4 hours under general anaesthesia.
03
Recovery
2 nights in clinic with medical supervision. Limited mobility for approximately 10 days. Most patients return to normal activity within 1 month. Digital follow-up continues after you return home.
Pre-operative nutritional screening · specialist matched to your metabolic profile · structured recovery focused on healing · guided nutrition follow-up · long-term monitoring with GP documentation.
Surgical approaches
Three approaches.
One determines yours.
The exact surgical approach depends on the location of the prolapse and your anatomy. Your specialist confirms which is appropriate during the pre-operative assessment.
Anterior repair
Addresses prolapse at the front of the vaginal wall, typically involving the bladder. Strengthens the support between the bladder and the vaginal wall to restore normal positioning and reduce urinary symptoms.e
Posterior repair
Addresses prolapse at the back of the vaginal wall, typically involving the rectum. Strengthens the tissue between the vagina and rectum to restore bowel comfort and function.
Combined repair
When prolapse affects both the anterior and posterior wall, both areas are addressed in one procedure and one recovery. Your surgeon determines whether this is appropriate based on your assessment.

Common questions
Common questions patients ask
before making a decision
How much does mini bypass surgery cost in Egypt?
From €4,200.
Clinic, surgeon, anaesthesia, hospital stay, transfers and aftercare. Recovery accommodation in Hurghada is bookable separately or as a combined package. Total cost is 50–65% less than the same procedure in Germany or Belgium.
What is the difference between mini bypass and gastric sleeve?
The mini bypass combines stomach restriction with intestinal bypass, producing stronger metabolic effects. Particularly for type 2 diabetes. The sleeve only reduces stomach size. Mini bypass is preferred when metabolic conditions are significant or sleeve outcomes are expected to be insufficient.
What is the difference between mini bypass and full bypass?
Mini bypass (OAGB) has one intestinal connection instead of two, making it technically simpler and faster than the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Weight loss outcomes are comparable. Your surgeon advises which suits your profile during consultation.
How much weight will I lose with mini bypass?
Most patients lose 65–75% of excess body weight within 12–18 months. The metabolic effect is strong. Type 2 diabetes resolves or significantly improves in the majority of cases, often before significant weight loss has occurred.
Is mini bypass surgery safe in Egypt?
Yes. German Select only refers patients to internationally certified clinics. All surgeons are trained and qualified in Germany, working to German clinical protocols. Clinics are independently assessed before any patient is placed.
Who is a good candidate for mini bypass?
Adults with BMI 35+, or BMI 30–35 with metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or severe reflux. Also considered for patients where sleeve outcomes are expected to be insufficient. Eligibility confirmed during free consultation.
A private consultation
is the right first step.
Your specialist reviews your situation and gives you a clear, honest picture of what is realistic. With complete discretion, in your own language.
