Surgical correction of urethral prolapse

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Gynecology
• Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

• Female urethral prolapse stems from inadequate pelvic floor support.
• This condition involves the herniation of the urethra due to weakened attachments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a surgical approach for treating female urethral prolapse.
• To address the underlying cause of inadequate pelvic attachment.

Main Methods:

• Surgical reduction of the prolapsed urethra.
• Fixation of the bladder and urethra to the posterior symphysis pubis.
• Anchoring to the rectus abdominis muscles for enhanced pelvic support.

Main Results:

• The proposed method aims to restore normal anatomy and function.
• Successful fixation is expected to prevent recurrence of urethral prolapse.

Conclusions:

• Surgical repositioning and fixation offer a viable treatment for female urethral prolapse.
• Addressing inadequate pelvic attachment is key to successful management.
