[The triple perineal operation with prosthesis. First 100 cases results]

The authors describe the technique of Triple Operation for Prolapses with Prostheses for the surgical cure of genital prolapse using a recto-vaginal interposition prosthesis for cystocele, rectocele and suspension of the vaginal dome by a posterior retro- and trans-levator muscle strip. The preliminary results over a continuous series of 100 patients operated on between June 2001 and June 2003 showed perioperative complications (7 bladder injuries) and postoperative complications (4 vaginal erosions related to the prosthesis including one that was secondarily infected, and a hematoma with secondary abscess of the pararectal fossa which required the ablation of the material). As far as anatomy was concerned, the results were excellent for the correction of hysterocele, apical prolapse and rectocele. On the functional level, dyspareunia was noted. Six of the ten preoperative mechanical dyschesias were considerably improved.
