Posterior Intravaginal Slingplasty versus Unilateral Sacrospinous Ligament Fixation in Treatment of Vaginal Vault Prolapse

Objective. To investigate the differences in efficacy, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction between posterior intravaginal slingplasty (PIVS) and unilateral sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) procedures. Study Design. A retrospective study of thirty-three women who underwent PIVS or SSLF treatment for vaginal vault prolapse in Oulu University Hospital. The patients were invi...

The Posterior Intravaginal Slingplasty treatment for apical prolapse: 3 years experience in a single centre setting

AIM To assess the anatomic effectiveness and complications of the Posterior IVS technique for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse over a period of 3 years. METHODS A retrospective, single-arm, non-comparative study involving routine, standardised, pre-operative assessment, surgery and follow-up care using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantifications score at 1, 2 and 3 years was performed. Th...

Ischiorectal abscess and ischiorectal-vaginal fistula as delayed complications of posterior intravaginal slingplasty: a case report.

BACKGROUND Synthetic meshes have been used extensively to augment surgical management of pelvic organ prolapses. Posterior intravaginal sling (IVS) is a technique used for correcting vaginal vault/apical prolapse, posterior vaginal prolapse or rectocele. There are limited data on long-term safety of this procedure. In a subanalysis of the IVS tapes from the SUSPEND trial performed secondary to ...

Anatomical and Functional Outcomes of Posterior Intravaginal Slingplasty for the Treatment of Vaginal Vault or Uterine Prolapse: A Prospective, Multicenter Study

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of posterior intravaginal slingplasty (P-IVS) for the treatment of a vaginal vault or uterine prolapse (VP/UP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a 12-month prospective, multicenter, observational study. Women aged over 30 years who presented with stage II or greater VP/UP underwent P-IVS by four urologists at four university ho...

High incidence of vaginal mesh extrusion using the intravaginal slingplasty sling.

PURPOSE The intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) is a tension-free vaginal tape variant that uses a multi-filament polypropylene tape to support the mid urethra for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Numerous cases of defective vaginal wound healing have been described in the international urogynecological literature. We describe our experience of vaginal mesh extrusion using the IV...
