Introduction. Sacrocolpopexy is a generally applied treatment for vault prolapse which can be performed laparoscopically or by open laparotomy. Methods. Between October 2007 and December 2012, we performed a multicenter prospective cohort study in 2 university and 4 teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. We included patients with symptomatic posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse requiring sur...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and complications of abdominal sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. DESIGN Review article. SETTING Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Charles University 2nd Medical Faculty and Teaching Hospital Motol, Prague. METHODS Review from biomedical database Medline from 1960 till 2006. The articles were found under the key words: va...

objective: the abdominal sacrocolpopexy is the standard method of vaginal prolapse correction and posterior intravaginal slingplasty (pivs) is a newer procedure with minimal invasiveness. this study compares the effectiveness and complications of these two surgical methods. materials and methods: in this non randomized clinical trial study, which was conducted in imam khomeini hospital, tehran,...

The abdominal sacrocolpopexy has long been the gold standard for repair of apical prolapse. With the evolution of minimally invasive surgery and the advent of the da Vinci® robotic system, many surgeons have transitioned to performing this procedure with robotic assistance. Due to the growing increase in the performance of this procedure, we have seen an increase in the need for mesh removal fo...

IMPORTANCE More than 225 000 surgeries are performed annually in the United States for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is considered the most durable POP surgery, but little is known about safety and long-term effectiveness. OBJECTIVES To describe anatomic and symptomatic outcomes up to 7 years after abdominal sacrocolpopexy, and to determine whether these are affected b...

BACKGROUND Hysterectomy is one of the most performed surgical procedures during lifetime. Almost 10 % of women who have had a hysterectomy because of prolapse symptoms, will visit a gynaecologist for a surgical correction of a vaginal vault prolapse thereafter. Vaginal vault prolapse can be corrected by many different surgical procedures. A Cochrane review comparing abdominal sacrocolpopexy to ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate for potential predictors of intraoperative conversion from robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) to open abdominal sacrocolpopexy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 83 consecutive patients from 2002-2012 with symptomatic high-grade post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse that underwent RSC. Multiple clinical variables including patient age, comorbidities (body-mass index [BMI],...

CONTEXT Abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC) represents the superior treatment for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP) but is associated with increased length of stay, analgesic requirement, and cost compared with transvaginal procedures. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) and robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) may offer shorter postoperative recovery while maintaining equivalent rates of cure. OBJE...

Background: Post hysterectomy vault prolapse is a progressive herniation of the vaginal through urogenital diaphragm and commonly leads to per bulge. Surgically, corrected by sacrocolpopexy which can be done both as an open abdominal surgery laparoscopic repair. Aims Objectives: This study was performed compare therapeutic efficacies sacrocolpopexy. Materials Methods: includes 50 cases prolapse...
