Abstract:
Complete prolapse of the vaginal dome post hysterectomy is uncommon. However, complications such as urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary infections, and ureteral obstruction leading to anuria and loss of renal function may result. A modified technique for endoscopic suspension of the bladder neck and vaginal prolapse, performed in six patients, is presented. The positive results achieved after a 64-month of follow-up suggest that this procedure is another safe alternative to correct vaginal prolapse and its complications.
