Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the short term results of infracoccygeal sacropexy for the management of uterine prolpase or stump prolapse.
METHODS
Thirty-four Women who underwent infracoccygeal sacropexy for the management of uterine prolapse or stump prolpase were enrolled this study. Intraoperative or postoperative complications and results of the operation were evaluated and the recurrence rate of pelvic organ prolapse was checked 6 months after operation.
RESULTS
Changes of hemoglobin after infracoccygeal sacropexy was 1.7+/-0.9, mean duration of bladder drainage was 3.1+/-1.0 (days). After 2.1 days of operation, foley catheter was removed. Mean inpatient day was 5.2+/-1.0, patient discharged 3.2 days after operation. Recurrence rate after 6 months was 2.9%. Preoperative mean stage of prolapse was 2.7+/-0.7 (stage) and it decreased to 0.4+/-0.6 (stage) 6 months after operation.
CONCLUSIONS
Infracoccygeal sacropexy was effective method for the management of uterine/ stump prolapse.
