Abstract:
Ten women were treated for complete eversion of the vaginal vault with an abdominal sacropexy technique utilizing rectus fascia as graft material. The vault was suspended from the anterior sacral ligament by a strip of rectus fascia. Nine of ten patients had complete cure of the prolapse. All patients who remained sexually active have reported normal coital function. Abdominal sacropexy using rectus fascia is a safe, effective method for the long-term cure of vaginal vault prolapse.
