RESUMO
Objective: Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest as a spectrum including anorectal dysfunction, vaginal prolapse, and urinary incontinence. Sacrospinous fixation is a procedure performed by gynecologists to treat vaginal prolapse. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of transvaginal prolapse surgery on anorectal function. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients undergoing sacrospinous fixation surgery for vaginal prolapse between 2014 to 2020. Those with anorectal dysfunction who had also been evaluated by the colorectal service preoperatively and postoperatively were included for analysis. These patients were assessed with symptom-specific validated questionnaires. The effect of surgery on constipation and fecal incontinence symptoms was analyzed. Results: A total of 22 patients were included for analysis. All patients underwent transvaginal sacrospinous fixation, and 95.4% also had posterior colporrhaphy for vaginal prolapse. There were a statistically significant improvements in the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI), the St. Mark's Incontinence Score (Vaizey), the embarrassment and lifestyle components of the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Score, the Constipation Scoring System, the Obstructed Defecation Score, and components of the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life score. Conclusion: Transvaginal prolapse surgery leads to a favorable effect on anorectal function, with improvements in both obstructed defecation and fecal incontinence scores in this small series. (AU)

Introducción: El prolapso de órganos pélvico (POP) es una patología frecuente que afecta hasta el 60% de las mujeres. La fijación alta al ligamento uterosacro (FAUS) transvaginal es una alternativa para el tratamiento del prolapso apical con buenos resultados, tiempos operatorios y de recuperación acotados, además de bajas tasas de complicaciones. Objetivo: Evaluar la tasa de éxito anatómico y subjetivo en pacientes portadoras de un prolapso apical sometidas a FAUS en el Hospital de Quilpué a 24 meses de seguimiento. Materiales y método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo observacional descriptivo, seleccionando a todas las pacientes sintomáticas con un prolapso apical ≥ 2 de la clasificación de POP-Q, sometidas a una FAUS entre septiembre de 2014 y octubre de 2019. Los datos fueron obtenidos desde la base de datos de la unidad de uroginecología del Hospital de Quilpué, previa aprobación del comité de ética. El éxito objetivo se definió como un punto C a 1 centímetro sobre el himen y el éxito subjetivo con una escala de impresión de mejora global del paciente (PGI-I) mejor o mucho mejor y/o una escala visual analógica (EVA) mayor al 80%, a 24 meses de seguimiento. Resultados: Se incluyeron 46 pacientes. La tasa de éxito objetivo fue del 84% y de éxito subjetivo del 70%. Conclusiones: La FAUS transvaginal con suturas permanentes es una excelente alternativa para el tratamiento del prolapso apical con una tasa de éxito similar al gold standard a 24 meses de seguimiento.
Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a frequent pathology that affects up to 60% of women. Transvaginal uterosacral ligament high fixation (USLs: utero-sacral ligaments) is an alternative for the treatment of apical prolapse with good results, limited operative and recovery times, as well as low rates of complications. Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and subjective success rate in patients with an apical prolapse undergoing STALUS at the Quilpué Hospital at 24 months of follow-up. Materials and method: A descriptive observational retrospective study was carried out, selecting all symptomatic patients with an apical prolapse ≥ 2 of the POP Q classification, submitted to a FAUS between September 2014 and October 2019. The data were obtained from the database of the Urogynecology Unit of the Quilpué Hospital, prior approval of the ethics committee. Objective success was defined as a C-point 1 centimeter above the hymen and subjective success with better or much better Patient Global Impression-Improvement (PGI-I) scale and/or a greater than 80% Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), at 24 months of follow-up. Results: 46 patients were included. The objective success rate was 84% and the subjective success rate was 70%. Conclusions: The transvaginal FAUS with permanent sutures is an excellent alternative for the treatment of apical prolapse with a success rate similar to the gold standard at 24 months of follow-up.

Abstract Sacral colpopexy is one of the standard procedures to treat apical pelvic organ prolapse. In most cases, a synthetic mesh is used to facilitate the colposuspension. Spondylodiscitis is a rare but potentially serious complication that must be promptly diagnosed and treated, despite the lack of consensus in the management of this complication.We report one case of spondylodiscitis after a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and sacral colpopexy treated conservatively. We also present a literature review regarding this rare complication. A conservative approach without mesh removal may be possible in selected patients (stable, with no vaginal lesions, mesh exposure or severe neurologic compromise). Hemocultures and culture of imageguided biopsies should be performed to direct antibiotic therapy. Conservative versus surgical treatment should be regularly weighted depending on clinical and analytical progression. A multidisciplinary team is of paramount importance in the follow-up of these patients.
Resumo A colpopexia sacral é um dos procedimentos padrão para tratar o prolapso de órgãos pélvicos apical. Na maioria dos casos, uma tela sintética é usada para facilitar a colposuspensão. A espondilodiscite é uma complicação rara, mas potencialmente grave, que deve ser prontamente diagnosticada e tratada, apesar da falta de consenso no manejo dessa complicação. Relatamos um caso de espondilodiscite após histerectomia supracervical laparoscópica e colpopexia sacral tratada conservadoramente. Também apresentamos uma revisão da literatura sobre essa complicação rara. Uma abordagem conservadora sem remoção da tela pode ser possível em pacientes selecionadas (estáveis, sem lesões vaginais, exposição da tela ou comprometimento neurológico grave). Hemoculturas e cultura de biópsias guiadas por imagem devemser realizadas para direcionar a antibioticoterapia. O tratamento conservador versus o cirúrgico deve ser avaliado regularmente, dependendo da progressão clínica e analítica. Uma equipe multidisciplinar é de suma importância no acompanhamento desses pacientes.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate long-term (5-10 years) outcomes of Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) kit insertion with Prolift® (non-absorbable) mesh compared to the use of Prolift M® (partially absorbable), for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair. Study design: In this retrospective study we compared women undergoing MIS kit Prolift® insertion (n=90) vs. Prolift M® insertion (n=79) for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair between 2006 and 2012 at our Institution. A number of 169 women fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Results: During the study period 128 women (76%) completed full follow-up; of them 58 (73%) following MIS kit Prolift® insertion, and 70 (88%) following MIS kit ProliftM® insertion. There was no significant difference between the Prolift® and Prolift M® regarding parity (3.04 vs. 2.88, p=0.506), presence of hypertension (24.1% vs. 39.1%, p=0.088), diabetes mellitus (3.4% vs. 11.6%, p=0.109), or urinary stress incontinence (39.7% vs. 47.1%, p=0.475). All participants had been diagnosed with POP grade 3 or 4 before the procedure. No significant complications during the procedure or postoperative period were identified in the study groups. The follow-up period was at least five years in duration for both groups. Both groups were comparable according to questionnaires focused on function and satisfaction. Conclusion: Patients undergoing MIS kit Prolift® and Prolift M® insertion for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair had comparable early and late postoperative outcomes. No differences in patient's function and satisfaction between the two groups were identified. According to our findings, there is no superiority to either of the two studied mesh devices.

O prolapso genital neonatal é uma condição clínica rara e na maioria das vezes associada a anomalias neurológicas. Nos últimos 50 anos, foram relatados menos de 10 casos na literatura de prolapso genital em recém-nascido sem espinha bífida ou meningomielocele (nenhum deles no Brasil), tornando tal entidade ainda mais rara em neonatos neurologicamente normais. Neste artigo relatamos dois casos clínicos de prolapso genital em neonatos prematuros neurologicamente normais. Em ambos os casos foi optado por manejo conservador com redução digital do prolapso. Foi realizada também uma breve revisão da literatura para melhor discussão sobre o tema (etiologia, diagnóstico e manejo).(AU)
Neonatal genital prolapse is a rare clinical condition and most often associated with neurological abnormalities. In the last 50 years, less than 10 cases of genital prolapse have been reported in literature in neonates without spina bifida or meningomyelocele (none of them in Brazil), making this entity even rarer in neurologically normal neonates. In this article we report two clinical cases of genital prolapse in neurologically normal preterm neonates. In both cases, conservative management with digital reduction was chosen. A brief review of the literature was also carried out to better discuss the topic (etiology, diagnosis and management).(AU)

Introducción: el prolapso de cúpula vaginal es una complicación que afecta entre 0,2 y 2 por ciento de las pacientes con antecedente de histerectomía total. La meta principal del tratamiento quirúrgico consiste no solo en mejorar la sintomatología, sino además evitar la recurrencia. Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de la regularidad en pacientes intervenidas mediante sacrocolpopexia laparoscópica por prolapso de cúpula vaginal poshisterectomía y su posible relación con algunas variables sociodemográficas y quirúrgicas. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, en una serie consecutiva de 41 pacientes atendidas quirúrgicamente en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso de La Habana, Cuba desde el 1º de agosto de 2008 hasta el 30 de abril de 2016. Resultados: la recurrencia se presentó en cinco pacientes de la serie (12,2 por ciento) después de un tiempo medio de seguimiento de 7,3 años. En ellas fue mayor la frecuencia de comorbilidad dado por la presencia de antecedentes patológicos personales (9,8 por ciento frente a 2,4 por ciento), así como de histerectomía previa por vía convencional en relación con la laparoscópica (7,3 por ciento frente a 4,9 por ciento). Las diferencias encontradas no fueron significativas. La tasa de éxito (supervivencia libre de recurrencia) a los cinco años fue de 84,4 por ciento. Conclusiones: se presentó una baja frecuencia de recurrencia en las pacientes intervenidas sin poder establecer su posible asociación con algunas variables seleccionadas(AU)
Introduction: Vaginal vault prolapse is a complication that affects 0.2 to 2 percent of patients with a history of total hysterectomy. The main goal of surgical treatment is not only to improve symptoms, but also to avoid recurrence. Objective: To determine the frequency of regularity in patients undergoing laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy due to prolapse of the vaginal vault and its possible relation with some sociodemographic and surgical variables. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in a consecutive series of 41 patients surgically treated at the National Center for Minimally Access Surgery, Havana, Cuba from August 1, 2008 to April 30, 2016. Results: Recurrence occurred in five patients of the series (12.2 percent) after a mean follow-up time of 7.3 years. Their frequency of comorbidity was higher due to the presence of personal pathological history (9.8 percent vs. 2.4 percent) as well as previous hysterectomy by conventional route in relation to laparoscopy (7.3 percent vs. 4.9 percent). The differences found were not significant. The success rate (recurrence-free survival) at five years was 84.4 percent. Conclusions: A low frequency of recurrence in the patients who underwent surgery. It was not possible to establish their possible association with some selected variables(AU)

ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Anterior Elevate® mesh kit system (AES) in woman with symptomatic stage 3 or 4 anterior and/or apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Materials and Methods: This retrospective, monocentric, single surgeon study enrolled between May 2010 and January 2013 fifty-six woman experiencing symptomatic anterior vaginal prolapse with or without apical descent (POP-Q stage 3 or 4). All women received a AES and 7 (12.5%) received a concomitant transvaginal hysterectomy. Primary endpoint was anatomic correction of prolapse; success was defined as POP-Q stage ≤ 1 or asymptomatic stage 2. Secondary endpoints were quality-of-life (QOL) results and patients' safety outcomes, which were assessed by 3 validated self-reporting questionnaires at baseline and annually: ICIQ-UI short form, ICIQ-VS and P-QOL. All patients completed 2-years and 28 women 3-years of follow-up. Surgical approach was modified in women with uterus, moving the two-propylene strips anteriorly around the cervix itself crossing one another, so the left will take place in the right side and the right on the opposite. This modification was made in order to better support the uterus. Results: Vaginal mesh exposure was present in 3 (5,3%) patients. Very good anatomical outcomes were seen, with one (1,8%) failure at 6-months, 4 (7,1%) at 1-year, 6 at 2-years (10,7%). Statistically significant improvements were seen in the ICIQ-VS and P-QOL questionnaires throughout follow-up. Conclusion: Our data suggest that AES is a minimally-invasive transvaginal procedure to repair anterior and apical POP, with good evidence related to mid-term safety and efficacy.

ABSTRACT Objective: To share our first experience with laparoscopic pectopexy, a new technique for apical prolapse surgery, and to evaluate the feasibility of this technique. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with apical prolapse underwent surgery with laparoscopic pectopexy. The lateral parts of the iliopectineal ligament were used for a bilateral mesh fixation of the descended structures. The medical records of the patients were reviewed, and the short-term clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: The laparoscopic pectopexy procedures were successfully performed, without intraoperative and postoperative complications. De novo apical prolapse, de novo urgency, de novo constipation, stress urinary incontinence, anterior and lateral defect cystoceles, and rectoceles did not occur in any of the patients during a 6-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Although laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy has shown excellent anatomical and functional long-term results, laparoscopic pectopexy offers a feasible, safe, and comfortable alternative for apical prolapse surgery. Pectopexy may increase a surgeon's technical perspective for apical prolapse surgery.

ABSTRACT Introduction In high stage vaginal prolapse, recurrence risk patients, anterior and apical defects need to be addressed in the same procedure. The pre-molded commercial mesh kits are expensive and not always available. Alternative effective and safe treatment ways, with lower costs are desirable. Objective To present long term follow-up of patients treated with a homemade mesh shape to correct high stage prolapses. Materials and Methods We describe prospectively 18 patients with anterior and apical vaginal prolapses, stages III and IV, repaired using this specific design of mesh. All patients were submitted to pre-operative clinical evaluation and urodynamics. Prolapse was classified using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q). Intervention Prolapse surgery, using a six arms prolene mesh, through a single anterior vaginal incision. Outcome Measurements: POP-Q, patients satisfaction, descriptive statistical analysis. Results Between February 2009 and Oct 2010, 18 consecutive women underwent the above-mentioned surgery. Mean age was 68 years. At a mean follow-up of .,4 years (5 to 5.8 years), 16 (89%) patients were continent, mean Ba point came from +4.7cm to - 2.5cm, mean C point from +2.8cm to -6.6cm and mean Bp point from +1.3 to -1.7cm. There were two (11%) objective failures, but all the patients were considered success subjectively. There were two cases of mesh vaginal extrusion. Conclusions The homemade six arms prolene mesh allows concomitant correction of anterior and apical prolapses, through a single anterior vaginal incision, being an effective, safe and affordable treatment option when mesh is needed.

Introducción: El prolapso genital femenino altera significativamente la calidad de vida de la mujer. El prolapso apical es el segundo más frecuente después del defecto de pared anterior y la colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso es una de las técnicas quirúrgicas descritas para su tratamiento. Objetivos: Determinar la factibilidad de la corrección del prolapso apical en pacientes sometidas a la colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso, utilizando el dispositivo de captura de sutura CapioTM. Materiales y métodos: Análisis retrospectivo de pacientes intervenidas desde junio de 2015 a junio de 2016, en la unidad de piso pélvico del Hospital Luis Tisné Brousse, basándose principalmente en la evaluación del punto C del Prolpase Organ Pelvic Quatinfication (POP-Q). Resultados: Se intervinieron 15 pacientes, con edad promedio de 60,7 ± 6,8 años. Todas presentaron prolapso genital estadio III o IV. El seguimiento se realizó entre 3 y 13 meses después de la cirugía. Ninguna presentó complicaciones graves durante ni después de la cirugía y sólo una paciente recidivó. Conclusiones: La colposuspensión al ligamento sacroespinoso con CapioTM, es una técnica factible, segura y eficaz para el tratamiento del prolapso apical, sin embargo, es necesario mayor tiempo de seguimiento y estudios comparativos con otras técnicas de colposuspensión.
Introduction: Female genital prolapse significantly alter the quality of life of women. The apical prolapse is the second common defect after anterior wall and the colposuspension to sacrospinous ligament is one of the described surgical techniques for its treatment. Objective: To determine the feasibility of apical prolapse correction in patients undergoing sacrospinous colposuspension using the suture capture device CapioTM. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing this surgery from June 2015 to June 2016, including an objective assessment focused mainly in the C point of Prolapse Organ Pelvic Quatinfication (POP-Q) and a subjective evaluation of the patient. Results: 15 patients, of which only 11 were able to complete follow-up, were included. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 60.7 ± 6.8 years, and all were classified as prolapse stages III or IV. The evaluation was performed in average 6.75 ± 3.39 months after surgery, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 13 months. No patient had several complications during or after surgery and only one recurred. Conclusions: The colposuspension to sacrospinous ligament with CapioTM is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of apical genital prolapse. However, a longer follow-up study is needed, in addition to comparative studies with other colposuspension techniques.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of abdominal sacral colpopexy and sacrospinous ligament suspension with the use of vaginal mesh for apical prolapse. METHOD: This retrospective study was conducted from 2005 to 2012 and included 89 women with apical prolapse who underwent surgery. Assessments included pre- and postoperative Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage. Rates of objective cure and immediate/late complications were compared. RESULTS: In total, 41 of the 89 women underwent sacrospinous ligament suspension, and 48 of the women underwent abdominal sacral colpopexy. A total of 40.4% of the women had vault prolapse (p=0.9361). Most of them had no complications (93.2%) (p=0.9418). Approximately 30% of the women had late complications; local pain was the main symptom and was found only in women who underwent the abdominal procedure (25.6%) (p=0.001). Only the women who were submitted to the vaginal procedure had mesh exposure (18.4%). The objective success rate and the rate of anterior vaginal prolapse (p=0.2970) were similar for both techniques. CONCLUSION: Sacrospinous ligament suspension was as effective and had a similar objective success rate as abdominal sacral colpopexy for the treatment of apical prolapse. Sacrospinous ligament suspension performed with the use of vaginal mesh in the anterior compartment was effective in preventing anterior vaginal prolapse after surgery.

Introduction: vaginal vault prolapse continues to be a difficult though well defined problem in reconstructive pelvic surgery. Minimally invasive and safe options are increasingly considered for its solution. Objective: characterize a group of patients with vaginal vault prolapse treated by surgery. Methods: a retrospective descriptive study was conducted of the medical records of 70 patients diagnosed with this condition at the Gynecology Service of Ramón González Coro Hospital from June 2003 to December 2012. Data about clinical, surgical and evolution variables were obtained from surveys, the patients' medical records and the hospital's surgery registry. Results: results are encouraging due to the small number of recurrences. The procedure is a successful, safe alternative applicable in our environment as long as individualized criteria are abided by. Conclusions: surgical correction of vaginal vault prolapse is an effective procedure endorsed by the high level of satisfaction among healed or alleviated patients. We therefore recommend the inclusion of such techniques, whose increasingly common use requires the training of the personnel who will perform them(AU)

Objective To evaluate the results of sacrospinous colpopexy surgery associated with anterior colporrhaphy for the treatment of women with post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse. Methods This prospective study included 20women with vault prolapse, PelvicOrgan Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) stage≥2, treated between January 2003 and February 2006, and evaluated in a follow-up review (more than one year later). Genital prolapse was evaluated qualitatively in stages and quantitatively in centimeters. Prolapse stage < 2 was considered to be the cure criterion. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test (paired samples) to compare the points and stages of prolapse before and after surgery. Results Evaluation of the vaginal vault after one year revealed that 95% of subjects were in stage zero and that 5% were in stage 1. For cystocele, 50% were in stage 1, 10% were in stage 0 (cured) and 40% were in stage 2. For rectocele, three women were in stage 1 (15%), one was in stage 2 (5%) and 16 had no further prolapse. The most frequent complication was pain in the right buttock, with remission of symptoms in all three cases three months after surgery. Conclusions In this retrospective study, the surgical correction of vault prolapse using a sacrospinous ligament fixation technique associatedwith anterior colporrhaphy proved effective in resolving genital prolapse. Despite the low complication rates, there was a high rate of cystocele, which may be caused by posterior vaginal shifting due to either the technique or an overvaluation by the POP-Q system.
Objetivo Avaliar os resultados da cirurgia de colpofixação sacroespinal associada a colporrafia anterior, para o tratamento de mulheres com prolapso de cúpula vaginal pós-histerectomia. Métodos Estudo prospectivo que incluiu 20 mulheres com prolapso de cúpula em estágio≥2 de acordo com o Sistema de Quantificação do Prolapso Genital (POP-Q) tratadas no período de janeiro de 2003 a fevereiro de 2006 e avaliadas emrevisão tardia (maior que um ano). O prolapso genital foi avaliado qualitativamente em estágios e, quantitativamente, emcentímetros. Como critério de cura, consideramos prolapso em estágio < 2. Para análise estatística, foi utilizado teste de Wilcoxon (amostras pareadas) para comparar os pontos e estágios dos prolapsos antes e depois da cirurgia. Resultados Na cúpula vaginal a avaliação após um ano mostrou 95% em estágio zero e 5% em estágio 1. Cistocele: 50% em estágio 1, 10% em estágio zero (curadas) e 40% emestágio 2. Retocele: trêsmulheres apresentavamestágio 1 (15%), uma emestágio 2 (5%) e dezesseis não apresentavam prolapso posterior. As complicações mais frequentes foramdor no glúteo direito com remissão do sintoma emtodos os três casos após três meses da cirurgia. Conclusões Neste estudo retrospectivo, a cirurgia de correção do prolapso de cúpula pela técnica de fixação no ligamento sacroespinal, associada à colporrafia anterior, se mostrou efetiva na resolução do prolapso genital com baixa taxa de complicações; porém com alta taxa de cistocele - o que pode ter sido decorrente do desvio vaginal posterior pela técnica, ou ainda uma supervalorização pelo sistema POP-Q.

O prolapso de vesícula urinária associado ao prolapso uterino é condição rara em cães e gatos. O tratamento preconizado para essa afecção é o reposicionamento anatômico das estruturas afetadas. No presente relato é descrito o manejo por meio de ovariossalpingo-histerectomia por celiotomia e, após dois dias, cistopexia videoassistida. Essa condição, conforme o conhecimento dos autores, não havia sido previamente descrita. A operação apresentou-se como possibilidade viável de tratamento, sem complicações pós-operatórias.(AU)
The urinary bladder prolapse associated with the uterus is a rare condition on dogs and cats. The recommended treatment is the anatomical repositioning of the affected structures by manual reduction or surgery procedure. The present report describes the management by video-assisted cystopexy two days after conventional ovariohysterectomy. This condition, according to the authors' knowledge, had not been previously described. The operation didn't showed postoperative complications, and presented itself as a viable treatment option.(AU)

Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a “Cravat’’ technique for the management of uterine prolapse in patients who want to preserve uterus, involving suspension of the uterus from the sacral promontory by using polypropylene mesh. Materials and Methods A prospective observational study between January 2011 and September 2013 was conducted. Prior to surgery, prolapse assessment was undertaken with Baden-Walker halfway system to grade the degree of prolapse at all sites. Patients with severe uterine prolapse (stage II-IV) who want to preserve uterus, were operated with Cravat technique. All patients were evaluated at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery and followed for 6 months. Outcomes were evaluated objectively by vaginal examination using Baden-Walker halfway classification, and subjectively classifying patients as ‘very satisfied’, ‘satisfied’ and ‘not satisfied’ at the 6th month postoperatively. Results Sacral uteropexy was successfully performed by laparoscopy in 32/33 patients (one needed to be converted to laparotomy). Nine patients also had a concurrent procedure as colporaphy anterior, colporaphy posterior or transobturator tape. Postoperative recovery has been uneventful with subjective and objective cure rates were 96.9% and 93.9%, respectively at six month. One recurrence of total prolapse needed to be reoperated and two patients with sacrouteropexy still remained at stage 2 prolapse. There have been no cases of graft exposure, rejection or infection with a median follow-up of 23.9 months. Conclusions Laparoscopic sacral uteropexy with “Cravat technique” was found to be safe and simple procedure. .
