A New Surgical Method of Suprapubic and Extraperitoneal Approach with Uterine Preservation for Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Kurt Extraperitoneal Ligamentopexy

Abstract: Objective. To introduce an alternative surgical approach for the optimal treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods. Twenty symptomatic women with grades 2–4 POP diagnosis who opted to choose this alternative surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results. A total of 22 cases were included. The mean age of the patients was 50.6 ± 13.2 years (29–72 years) with a mean gravid and parity of 5.5 ± 2.66 and 3.4 ± 2.06, respectively. The mean body-mass index of the patients was 24.25 ± 2.43. Nine (45%) patient… Show more

“…Secondly, recreation of the cardinal ligament is impractical, as most suspending procedures including LSH/LSC require the uterosacral ligament to be rebuilt. Thirdly, suturing the round ligament to the fascia had been tried previously and a certain efficacy achieved, but the procedure did not match any integral theory and also changed the axis of the vagina. We took the above practical factors into consideration, integrating them into our design, and thus created a permanent and non‐elastic ligament from the cervical ring to the anterior abdominal fascia to elevate the uterus to a more physiological axis of the vagina.…”

“…Approximately 260 000 women underwent incontinence surgery, with 80% of repairs performed using a mesh device, with a direct cost of over $1 billion dollars annually in the United States [45,[47][48][49][50]. The likelihood of a woman requiring surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence in her lifetime is 10-20% [51][52][53]. Evidence of efficacy for these mesh products is lacking, and rates of complications such as erosions, pain, infections, and vaginal shrinkage are unacceptably high at around 10 % [54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

“…Pelvic organ prolapse commonly co‐exists with urinary incontinence, and is a significant global issue that represents a heavy economic burden . The risk of pelvic organ prolapse increases with age, and it is anticipated that the ageing global population is likely to precipitate a doubling of this global burden within the next quarter of a century . Prolapse often occurs secondary to childbirth or hysterectomy, and genetic, lifestyle, and geographic factors may all contribute to its development .…”
