Abstract:
A comparative study of abdominal colpopexy using rectus fascia and sacral fixation for the treatment of prolapsed vagina following hysterectomy was performed. The abdominal approach yields better results than the vaginal route. Fixation of the vaginal vault using a Dacron prosthesis is more rational and was the method of choice, resulting in a complete cure in 10 of 11 patients. The Brady technique failed in 25% of cases.
