Summary
This study presents an effective surgical approach for vaginal vault prolapse using abdominal sacral colpopexy with a modified Mersilene mesh. The modified technique showed satisfactory outcomes with no complications in 25 patients.
Area of Science:
- Urogynecology
- Pelvic reconstructive surgery
Background:
- Total vaginal vault prolapse is a condition requiring surgical correction.
- Abdominal sacral colpopexy is a known surgical procedure for this condition.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe and explain modifications to the abdominal sacral colpopexy technique.
- To evaluate the efficacy of this modified approach.
Main Methods:
- Performed abdominal sacral colpopexy on 25 patients between 1992 and 1999.
- Introduced a novel technique involving an inverted 'V' shaped Mersilene mesh interposition between the vaginal vault and sacral promontory.
Main Results:
- No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed.
- All patients achieved satisfactory outcomes during follow-up.
Conclusions:
- The modified abdominal sacral colpopexy technique is effective for treating vaginal vault prolapse.
- This approach offers a safe and satisfactory surgical option.
