ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:
Post-hysterectomy vault prolapse poses significant challenges to patients and surgeons alike. Despite numerous surgical interventions during initial vaginal hysterectomy to counteract this, a comparative analysis of their efficacy is limited. This study introduces a pioneering technique intended to avert vault prolapse during vaginal hysterectomy by harmoniously merging level 1 and level 2 support.METHODS:
After obtaining informed consent, we recorded a variation of the McCall technique performed during vaginal hysterectomy and anterior repair. Patient follow-ups were conducted up to 6 months post-operation to evaluate anatomical outcomes and quality of life.RESULTS:
A total of 46 women underwent the surgery. Anatomical evaluations at the 6-month mark were commendable, with no recurrence instances. Quality-of-life assessments, using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12), showcased substantial improvement.CONCLUSION:
Our novel approach to vault suspension provides an uncomplicated, easily impartible, surgical procedure utilizing standard sutures. We believe that this approach is both enduring and safe.Palavras-chave
