No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A descent of the anterior vaginal wall is the most common form of female pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Although anterior colporrhaphy (AC) is accepted worldwide as a "standard procedure", its exact steps are not well standardized.

We developed a small stitch anterior colporrhaphy (SSTAC) in an effort to increase the strength and durability of AC

Objectives

The aim of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility and complication rate of the SSTAC and to assess the anatomical and functional outcomes after this method of cystocele repair.

Conditions

  • Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse

Interventions

PROCEDURE

small stitch anterior colporrhaphy

A midline plication will be performed with continuous delayed absorbable sutures (3-0 polydioxanone) and the distance between the sutures will be 0.5 cm.
