Posterior Intravaginal Slingplasty for Vaginal Prolapse
,
Abstract
Objective: Urogynecologists are constantly looking for simple, safe and effective ways to cure vaginal apex prolapse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of posterior intravaginal slingplasty (PIVS).
Materials and methods: A total of 38 patients with advanced vaginal apical prolapse underwent posterior intravaginal slingplasty in Vali-e-Asr hospital in Tehran. In this clinical trial (before-after study), demographic, pre-operative, operative details and post-operative follow-up data were collected for all patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and Mac Nemar test. P<0.05 was considered for statistical significance.
Results: The mean for patients' age was 67 (50-81) years, for operation time was 35 (25-45) minutes and for blood loss was 125 (70-300) ml. No intraoperative rectal perforation was observed and there was a significant difference in patients' symptoms such as pelvic pain, nocturia, urgency and urinary tract infection before and after the surgery (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: PIVS had similar efficacy with other studies in the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse. The procedure reduces the complication rate and shortens the rehabilitation period with a satisfying result.
