A colpotomy is performed either to visualize pelvic structures or to perform surgery on the fallopian tubes or ovaries.
Colpotomy results are considered normal when the incision performed allows the surgeon to meet the goal of the overall surgical protocol.
Pain management depends on the surgery that requires the colpotomy, and may involve local, regional, or general anesthesia.
In a colpotomy, the incision is made in the vaginal wall, usually at the top of the vagina near the cervix. This allows access to the pelvic organs for procedures such as hysterectomy or removal of ovarian cysts.
Colpotomy morbidity rates are not reported. This is because the procedure represents one surgical process in an operation that involves other surgical procedures.
