Conditions

Genital Prolapse

Brief summary

Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the most common benign gynecological disorders and affects approximately 40% of women over 50 years of age. The causes of utero vaginal prolapse are pregnancy, labor, obesity, increased intra-abdominal pressure, and weak pelvic floor structures

Interventions

PROCEDUREsacrospinous fixation Using Posterior Vaginal wall flap

* Identification of the sacro spinous ligament. * Insertion of the sacrospinous stitch. Using a long - handled needle holder, a J - shaped Ethibond suture is placed 2 - 3 cm medial to the right ischial spine. Using posterior vaginal wall flap (rectangular flap )will be incised and retracted Superior to the right , the stitch of sacro spinous ligament will be attached to the flap not the vault after adjusting its size , then the sit . The stitch should be placed through and not around the ligament. The application of firm traction to the suture length will test the correctness of its placement. A second suture is inserted for additional support. We may do it directly or by using an alternative surgical instruments for placement of the suture include the knee scorpion. Per rectum examination should be undertaken to check for misplaced sutures. * Attachment of the sutures to the vaginal flap . The two sutures are then secured to the upper posterior aspect of the vaginal flap ,
