Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: Uterine interposition is an operation to correct pelvic organ prolapse and was first described in 1899.
Methods: The essence of this vaginal operation consisted of dissecting the bladder, opening the plica vesico-uterina, and mobilizing and turning the uterus 180°, whereby the fundus of the uterus was positioned downward (caudal) and fixed there with stitches. This created a barrier in front of the bladder, keeping the bladder completely in place.
Results: The operation, often in combination with other procedures such as levatorplasty and/or cervical amputation, became very popular in the first half of the twentieth century. In the literature many case series have been published with remarkably good results. However, after 1965 it disappeared completely from the literature.
Conclusion: The video shows an interposition operation performed in 1928 by Professor van Bouwdijk Bastiaanse in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
期刊介绍：
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
