About

Laparoscopic lateral mesh suspension is emerged as a practical, safe and feasible alternative to sacropexy to treat female genital apical prolapse. Investigators hypothesized that uterus-preserving lateral suspension provides a better anatomical positioning.

Full description

Suspending the cervix to the bilateral abdominal wall through subperitoneal tunnels may properly mimic cardinal ligament and restore the normal vaginal axis. To prove the null hypothesis, it is planned to compare the vaginal axis on Magnetic Resonans Imaging taken preoperatively and postoperatively in patients who are scheduled for lateral mesh suspension for apical prolapse.

Enrollment: 21 patients

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Magnetic resonance imaging

Control

Description:

Multiparous, sexually active participants who have grade 0 or 1 (asymptomatic if exists) prolapse will have magnetic resonance imaging as a control group

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Magnetic resonance imaging
