RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Labor induction of women with a history of uterine scarring is an increasingly frequent situation and one for which there are currently no clear professional recommendations favoring one method over another. The objectives of this study were to determine the success rate of balloon catheter induction in women with a history of caesarean section and to evaluate the main factors associated with vaginal delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center retrospective study was conducted between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2018, in Lille, France, and included all women with one previous caesarean section who were induced by first-line balloon catheter induction. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with the primary outcome (vaginal delivery). RESULTS: Of the 310 women in the sample, 192 delivered vaginally (62 %). After adjustment, factors associated with successful induction (vaginal delivery) were the number of previous vaginal deliveries (odds ratio [OR] 1.37; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.81), evolution of the Bishop score after balloon removal (OR 1.24; 95 % CI 1.10-1.41), and the initial Bishop score (OR 1.17; 95 % CI 1.00-1.37). Uterine rupture was observed in three women (1 %). CONCLUSION: The vaginal delivery rate after balloon catheter induction in women with a previous caesarean section was 62 %. Prognostic factors for vaginal delivery include previous vaginal delivery, the initial Bishop score, and evolution of the Bishop score after balloon catheter induction.

Since 2019, all vaginal mesh implants were removed from the market. Since, surgeons have only the autologous technique left to treat prolapse by vaginal route. The anterior sacrospinofixation is an alternative technique to treat vaginally apical prolapses. We have divided the anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation technique into 10 surgical steps: exposure, infiltration, vaginal incision, vesico-vaginal dissection, paravesical dissection, sacrospinous ligament suture (two passage in the SSL on each side, using a suture-capturing device), vaginal fixation, vaginal closure, sacrospinous ligament fixation and final closure. We have performed more than 50 ASSF. This technique is not very well known, and the surgeons are more used to approach the SSL by posterior way. We have included a video of the procedure and an anatomical drawing exhibiting the dissection of the SSL without eyes control. We also added tips and tricks to easily apprehend this new technique. The anterior approach seems to has several advantages compared to the traditional posterior technique. We want to share such a video on showing how to approach the paravesical fossa anteriorly without eyes control.
