Study design: A retrospective longitudinal study was performed. From December 2003 through June 2008, SSF was performed in 76 patients using the VLC as part of their site-specific reconstructive pelvic surgery. All patients were followed up postoperatively at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter. Results: The median operative time of SSF was 34 min. It took less than 5 min to introduce two sutures through the ligament using the VLC. Four patients (5.3%) had recurrent vaginal vault descent at 3-8 months, and received SSF again. Three patients had recurrent stage 1 cystocele at 6-12 months, but did not require further surgery. Conclusion: The VLC allowed effective introduction of the suspending suture through the sacrospinous ligament and might be considered an important surgical component in the treatment of severe genital prolapse. ? 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. |
