Native Tissue Vaginal Surgery Seoul Korea | Somssi Women’s Clinic
Native tissue vaginal surgery in Seoul, Korea is a pelvic reconstructive procedure that repairs pelvic organ prolapse and vaginal support defects using the patient's own tissues rather than synthetic mesh. At Somssi Women’s Clinic in Gangnam, native tissue repair can help restore normal anatomy, improve bladder and bowel function, and relieve symptoms such as vaginal bulging and pelvic pressure. Many women choose native tissue surgery because it avoids permanent mesh implants while providing effective long-term prolapse repair.
What Is Native Tissue Vaginal Surgery?
Native tissue vaginal surgery is a reconstructive gynecologic procedure that uses a woman's own ligaments, connective tissues, and pelvic support structures to repair vaginal prolapse and pelvic floor defects. Instead of implanting synthetic mesh, the surgeon strengthens and reattaches the body's natural support tissues. This approach is commonly used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal vault prolapse, cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse.
Conditions Treated with Native Tissue Repair
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
When pelvic organs descend into the vaginal canal due to weakened support structures, native tissue repair can restore normal positioning and function.
Uterine Prolapse
The uterus can be repositioned and supported using native ligaments and pelvic tissues without relying on mesh implants.
Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse)
Native tissue techniques can repair the vaginal wall and improve bladder support.
Rectocele
Weakening between the rectum and vagina may be corrected through vaginal reconstruction using the patient's own tissues.
Vaginal Vault Prolapse
Women who have previously undergone hysterectomy may benefit from native tissue suspension procedures that restore vaginal support.
Who Is a Good Candidate?

- Experience pelvic pressure or heaviness
- Notice a vaginal bulge
- Have uterine prolapse
- Have bladder or rectal prolapse
- Prefer to avoid synthetic mesh
- Want reconstructive pelvic floor surgery

Today, native tissue repair remains a widely accepted and commonly performed approach for prolapse correction.
Native tissue repair offers:
- No permanent vaginal mesh
