Summary
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be treated with the minimally invasive EnPlace system. This transvaginal device anchors sutures to sacrospinous ligaments for effective apical POP repair.
Area of Science:
- Urogynecology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition affecting women's quality of life.
- Current treatments for POP range from non-surgical to surgical interventions, each with limitations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the EnPlace system, a minimally invasive device for apical POP repair.
- To review historical studies and the technique of transvaginal percutaneous sacrospinous ligament fixation using the EnPlace system.
Main Methods:
- The EnPlace system utilizes a transvaginal percutaneous approach.
- Sutures are bilaterally anchored to the sacrospinous ligaments for POP repair.
- The technique is applicable for hysteropexy or colposuspension.
Main Results:
- The EnPlace system offers a minimally invasive option for apical POP.
- The procedure involves sacrospinous ligament fixation via a transvaginal percutaneous route.
- This method facilitates hysteropexy or colposuspension.
Conclusions:
- The EnPlace system represents an advancement in minimally invasive POP treatment.
- Transvaginal percutaneous sacrospinous ligament fixation is a viable technique for apical POP repair.
- Further understanding of the EnPlace system and its application is beneficial for clinicians.
