Vaginal Vault Suspension at Hysterectomy for Prolapse – Myths and Facts, Anatomical Requirements, Fixation Techniques, Documentation and Cost Accounting

Abstract: Uterine prolapse can be treated by various conservative or operative measures. If the patient wishes operative correction with removal of the uterus, the gold standard is vaginal hysterectomy. The surgical steps are basically the same as those used for vaginal hysterectomies performed for other, benign, uterine pathologies. However, in hysterectomy procedures for prolapse, the focus is on treating the apical insufficiency and preventing prolapse of the vaginal stump, i.e. socalled vaginal vault suspension.

Table (6) there was a significant increase in the anterior vaginal walls in 1 st week, 1 st month, and 3 rd month of follow-up. And there was a significant increase in the posterior vaginal wall during 1 st week and 3 rd month of follow-up.…”

“…DAC and vaginal hysterectomy (and cervix extirpation) with apical fixation are standardized procedures in our clinic. We will omit the description of vaginal hysterectomy here as it was previously published by our group [ 8 , 9 ]. Following hysterectomy, DAC is performed while the epithelium of the vaginal vault is still open.…”

“…3 The usual treatment for UV prolapse is hysterectomy followed by pelvic support repair. 4,5 In young reproductive age group women suffering from uterovaginal prolapse, abdominal sacrohysteropexy is safe and effective. 6 Besides achieving durable anatomical restoration and normal vaginal axis, sexual function is also maintained by this procedure with excellent success rate and minimal complications.…”
