We describe a modification of the cadaveric prolapse repair and sling - CaPS technique that uses the sling surgery principles to correct grade IV cystocele. In this modification, the central and paravaginal defects reconstitution are performed using cadaveric fascia lata fixed over rectus abdominis muscle, eliminating the need of pubic fixation by screws, as proposed by the original technique. The modification described, besides presenting the benefits of CaPS, i.e., not using impaired tissues to reconstruct vesical support, and lower risks of perineal hypercorrection, also reduces the probability of complications of bone fixation.

Operative cystocele/rectocele management and prolapse surgery have become increasingly important domains of urogynecologic surgery. The risk of prolapse surgery in women lies at around 11% today and one-third of these are reoperations. There are currently three competing operative procedures: (1) the transvaginal approach with a vaginae fixatio sacrospinalis vaginalis or sacrotuberalis, (2) transabdominal pelvic sacrocolpopexy, and (3) transabdominal laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.We compared efficacy, reoperation rates, and complication rates in abdominal sacrocolpopexy to those found with the transvaginal or laparoscopic surgical approaches, by reviewing the literature of the last 10 years, including 1995, in an online search. Analysis of the accumulated data made it clear, moreover, that randomized, prospective studies on the three different operative procedures are missing; these are mandatory, however, to enable exact and objective assessment of efficacy, long-term results, and complication rates.

Vaginal total hysterectomy get to better qualily of lite to patients who have genital prolapse. It gives no abdominal scar. The feeding and rising are early. Among a serie of 36 total vaginal hysterectomies for hysteroceles we performed, we report few complications. One patient presented a plentiful peroperative haemorrhage : three others present a vesical wound. We report one case of releasing suture, one had setting of bladderand one case of vaginal infection. One patient died from a cause not reliable to the procedure. The mean duration of the hospital stay was 8.36 days. After 4 years following up, 2 patients have elytrocele recurrence, and one other presents a bad reducing of cystocele. We hope to pursue this serie strenghen then our results.

The authors describe the technique of Triple Operation for Prolapses with Prostheses for the surgical cure of genital prolapse using a recto-vaginal interposition prosthesis for cystocele, rectocele and suspension of the vaginal dome by a posterior retro- and trans-levator muscle strip. The preliminary results over a continuous series of 100 patients operated on between June 2001 and June 2003 showed perioperative complications (7 bladder injuries) and postoperative complications (4 vaginal erosions related to the prosthesis including one that was secondarily infected, and a hematoma with secondary abscess of the pararectal fossa which required the ablation of the material). As far as anatomy was concerned, the results were excellent for the correction of hysterocele, apical prolapse and rectocele. On the functional level, dyspareunia was noted. Six of the ten preoperative mechanical dyschesias were considerably improved.

The aim of this review is to summarize the available literature on surgical management of anterior vaginal wall prolapse. A Medline search from 1966 to 2004 and a hand-search of conference proceedings of the International Continence Society and International Urogynecological Association from 2001 to 2004 were performed. The success rates for the anterior colporrhaphy vary widely between 37 and 100%. Augmentation with absorbable mesh (polyglactin) significantly increases the success rate for anterior vaginal wall prolapse. Abdominal sacrocolpopexy combined with paravaginal repair significantly reduced the risk for further cystocele surgery compared to anterior colporrhaphy and sacrospinous colpopexy. The abdominal and vaginal paravaginal repair have success rates between 76 and 100%, however, no randomized trials have been performed. There is currently no evidence to recommend the routine use of any graft in primary repairs, and possible improved anatomical out-comes have to be tempered againstcomplications including mesh erosions, infections and dyspareunia.

Baden-Walker classification grade III-IV (pelvic organ prolapse quantification [POP-Q] system stage III-IV) cystocele is associated with a constellation of abnormalities including urethral hypermobility, lateral defect, central defect, and concomitant vault and posterior wall prolapse. We describe a new transvaginal paravaginal technique to correct this group of abnormalities and report on our early results. We prospectively evaluated patients with high-grade cystocele who underwent repair with the new transvaginal paravaginal repair. Preoperative evaluation included history and physical examination, dynamic pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, urodynamics, and symptom questionnaire. All patients first underwent a distal urethral polypropylene sling surgery. After repair of the central defect of the cystocele, a paravaginal repair of the lateral defect was performed by using a circular 5 cm x 5 cm soft polypropylene mesh attached proximally to the sacrouterine/cardinal ligament, distally to the bladder neck, and laterally to the infralevator obturator fascia. Postoperative evaluation at 3-month intervals included history and physical examination using the POP-Q system, a voiding dysfunction and incontinence symptom questionnaire, the validated short form of the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), a validated global quality-of-life question, and a postvoid residual. We performed the repair in 98 patients with a mean age of 65 years (range, 40 to 86 years). Of these, 26% underwent concomitant vaginal hysterectomy, 45% had enterocele repair, and 94% had rectocele repair. There were 2 complications, including transient ureteral obstruction due to bladder wall hematoma and 1 patient who presented with a recurrent enterocele requiring surgical repair. No patient experienced urinary retention. De novo stress urinary incontinence was seen in 3 patients; de novo urge incontinence was seen in 2 patients. Postoperative POP-Q scores showed 85% of patients with stage 0-I, 13% with stage II, and 2% with stage III anterior vaginal wall prolapse. Of patients with preoperative stress urinary incontinence, 70% reported never experiencing symptoms under any circumstances. Quality of life improved from 4.7 to 1 (P < 0.005). Transvaginal paravaginal repair of grade III-IV cystocele using soft polypropylene mesh fixed to the obturator fascia, sacrouterine ligaments, and bladder neck area provides excellent support of the central defect repair as well as repair of the lateral defect. The operation is safe, simple, and outpatient based, and provides excellent anatomic results with minimal complications. Concomitant distal polypropylene sling did not increase the rate of complications and did not compromise results of stress urinary incontinence surgery.

We report a case series of 63 women with cystocele who underwent the same trans-vaginal procedure between October 1999 and October 2002. The polypropylene mesh (GyneMesh, Gynecare, Ethicon, France) was placed from the retropubic space to the inferior part of the bladder in a tension-free fashion. Patients were followed up for 24 to 60 months, with a mean follow-up of 37 months. Fifty-five patients returned for follow-up (87.3%). At follow-up, 49 women were anatomically cured (89.1%), five women had stage 2 anterior vaginal wall prolapse (9.1%), and one had a recurrent stage 3 (1.8%). Functional results and sexual function were also investigated. Fifty-three women had significant improvement in their quality of life (96.4%). There were a total of three cases of local pain around a mesh shrinkage (5.5%) and five vaginal erosions of the mesh (9.1%). Four out of 24 patients had dyspareunia (16.7%). In conclusion, the vaginal repair of anterior vaginal wall prolapse reinforced with a polypropylene mesh was efficient at 2 to 5 years follow-up. However, the first generation of polypropylene mesh we used was responsible for high rates of local complications and dyspareunia. Therefore, the polypropylene mesh has to be improved (lower weight) and the technique has to be documented by a randomized controlled trial before we could recommend its use in clinical practice.

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of vaginal approach to repair paravaginal defects in patients with symptomatic cystocele. This was a retrospective study of 66 women with a diagnosis of symptomatic cystocele grade 2 to 4, referred to our unit between January 2002 and March 2005. A clinical evaluation was carried out using the Baden-Walker classification before and after the surgery. The same surgical team performed every surgery. The repair of paravaginal fascial defects was carried out through a vaginal approach, exposing the arcus tendineus. The paravaginal fascial defects were corrected through suspension of vesicovaginal fascia to the arcus tendineus with nonreabsorbable Ethibond 0 sutures. Women were seen for follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months. The presence of well-demarcated vaginal lateral sulci at grade 0, firmly apposed to the lateral pelvic sidewalls and no anterior relaxation with Valsalva maneuver, were used as criteria for cure. Grade 2 cystocele was diagnosed preoperatively in most women. The mean duration of complaints due to prolapse was 64.6 months. There were no major intraoperative complications. Mean time of inpatient stay was of 4.9 days. The cure rate at 12 months was 91.6%. There were five cases of recurrence of cystocele 6 months after surgery. Surgical repair of symptomatic cystocele through a paravaginal approach is a safe and efficacious technique. Vaginal approach to repair paravaginal fascia defects had a low postoperative morbidity and high cure rate at 12 months (91.6%).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of a low-weight polypropylene mesh coated with an absorbable film in prolapse surgery by vaginal route. We have conducted a prospective multicentre study in 13 gynaecological and urological units. There were 230 patients requiring repair for anterior or posterior vaginal prolapse included. The present report is based on the analysis of the first 143 patients evaluated after at least 10 months follow-up. All patients were operated by the vaginal route using a specially designed mesh (Ugytex, Sofradim, France). Prolapse severity were evaluated using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse staging system. Symptoms and quality of life were evaluated preoperatively and during follow-up using the validated Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ) self-questionnaires. Mean age was 63 years (37-91). Anterior, posterior and anterior-posterior repair with the mesh were performed in 67 (46.9%), 11 (7.7%) and 65 (45.4%) patients, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 13 months (10-19), 132 patients were considered anatomically cured (92.3%) with a recurrence rate of 9 of 132 for cystocele (6.8%) and 2 of 76 for rectocele (2.6%). Nine vaginal erosions occurred (6.3%), six of them necessitated another procedure by simple excision. The rate of de novo dyspareunia was 12.8%. At follow-up, improvement of PFDI and PFIQ scores were highly significant (p<0.0001). The use of low-weight polypropylene mesh coated with a hydrophilic absorbable film for vaginal repair of genital prolapse seems to decrease local morbidity while maintaining low recurrence rates.

We present a case of vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy associated with cystocoele with central and lateral defect and stress urinary incontinence, that was treated surgically with employment of sacrospinous colpopexy through anterior approach (from paravesical space), combined with anterior colporrhaphy by double TOT approach method (that is a butterfly-shaped polipropylen mesh, which arms were carried through upper and lower parts of obturator foramens by tension-free method). There were no postoperative complications. A control examination at 1 and 3 months after the operation showed maintenance of normal anatomic relations, which were obtained as a result of repair, total control of urinary continence and full patient's satisfaction from the operation.
