About

Prolapse is a condition that can cause disabling pelvic, urinary or sexual function disorders and impaired quality of life.

Regarding the prolapse of the middle floor, the vaginal sacrospinofixation according to Richter is the reference technique for the suspension of the vaginal fundus. But the technique of sacrospinofixation vaginally is not without several difficulties in the short term but also in the medium and long term.

Recently, anchoring devices have been developed to limit the dissection of the sacrospinous ligament and the operative exposure by the sometimes traumatic valves.

The investigating team uses a technical variant in the form of an isthmic posterior strip of light weight and whose arms are sutured to the sacrospinous ligaments. The advantages of this isthmic strip are based on its small size, its very low basis weight and its wide mesh (improvement of tolerance) via a mini-invasive vaginal approach (thus allowing ambulatory care).

Patient functional discomfort is the main problem related to the presence of a prolapse, therefore, the researchers wish to evaluate patient feelings following the use of this isthmic band. The researchers' hypothesis is that the sacrospinofixation technique with posterior isthmic band Bilateral Sacrospinous Colposuspension (BSC) Mesh (Agency for Medical Innovations (AMI) laboratory) improves symptoms experienced by patients with mid-level prolapse.
