[2] [10] Forms of colpopexy include sacrocolpopexy, in which the vaginal vault is attached to the sacrum using a surgical mesh; sacrospinous ligament fixation, in which the upper vagina is attached to the sacrospinous ligaments; and uterosacral ligament vaginal vault suspension, in which the upper vagina is attached to the uterosacral ligaments ...
The mesh is strongly attached at two points: namely the uterus/cervix and the anterior longitudinal ligament over the sacral promontory. Hysteropexy restores the normal support of the vagina, suspending the uterus back in its anatomical position by reinforcing weakened ligaments with a mesh. This procedure allows the length of the vagina to be ...
The uterosacral ligaments (or rectouterine ligaments [1]) are major ligaments of uterus that extend posterior-ward from the cervix to attach onto the (anterior aspect of the [2]) sacrum. [ 3 ] Structure
The vaginal cuff is the upper portion of the vagina that opens up into the peritoneum and is sutured shut after the removal of the cervix and uterus during a hysterectomy. [1] [2] The vaginal cuff is created by suturing together the edges of the surgical site where the cervix was attached to the vagina. This is accomplished by bringing the ...
“It's when the uterus pushes into the vaginal canal because of loss of support.” The condition is sometimes called a hernia, since “both terms imply an organ is sticking out where it's not ...
The vaginal support structures are those muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, membranes and fascia, of the pelvic floor that maintain the position of the vagina within the pelvic cavity and allow the normal functioning of the vagina and other reproductive structures in the female.
It is an operation for uterine prolapse by fixation of the cardinal ligaments. Its purpose is to reduce the cystourethrocele and to reposition the uterus within the pelvis. The major steps of the intervention are listed below: Preliminary dilatation and curettage; Amputation of cervix
A hysterectomy is a fairly common surgical procedure wherein the uterus is removed. According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), 14.6% of women aged 18 years or older had ...
