[Association of Bologna-type cervicocystopexy and Richter-type sacro-spinal fixation in low approach treatment of genital prolapse. Apropos of 18 cases].

Abstract

We report our experience with Richter spinofixation in association with Bologna cervicocystopexy. Eighteen patients underwent surgery for voluminous prolapse. Spinofixation did not lead to complications. This technique allows a vaginal approach in cases where only an abdominal operation was possible before. Incontinence results were similar to those with the Bologna procedure alone with the additional improvement of allowing a permeable vagina. Currently mean follow-up is 13 months, but these encouraging results suggest that this association should be continued in the future.
