Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy and complication rates of posterior intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) procedures.

Methods

Thirty-four patients who had advanced (grade 4) uterine prolapse were recruited. All patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy and the cuff was suspended with a posterior IVS operation. The mean follow-up duration was 12 months (range 3–20 months).

Results

Thirty-three patients (97.1%) had satisfactory level I support defined objectively as stage 0 or I for point C as described in the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system. There were no rectal, vesical, ureteric, or vascular injuries in this series. During the postoperative period no complications, including tape erosion, were seen.

Conclusions

Posterior IVS is a minimally invasive procedure for grade 4 genital prolapse with a high success rate.
