MACHADO BERNAL, Jaime Andrés; PINEDA MARRIAGA, José Ángel e GOMEZ CASTRO, Armando Rafael. Modified technique of anterior colporraphy due to absence of prevesical fascia: case report. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.10, pp.762-767. Epub 08-Mar-2024. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v91i10.8532.
BACKGROUND:
Pelvic organ prolapse is common in postmenopausal women. The definitive treatment when the anterior compartment is involved is surgical (anterior colporrhaphy). Here we describe the clinical results obtained using a modified anterior colporrhaphy technique in a patient with absence of prevesical fascia, POP-Q stage II, with involvement of the anterior compartment.
CLINICAL CASE:
64-year-old female patient with a history of a previous colporrhaphy at the age of 56, pelvic organ prolapse with involvement of the anterior compartment. Gynaecological examination revealed anterior compartment involvement, specifically level II according to the new POP-Q classification. Based on the surgical history, anterior colporrhaphy with polyglactin 910 suture and vaginal colpopexy with polypropylene sutures using a suture capture device for native tissue repair was chosen. Surgical outcome was satisfactory.
CONCLUSION:
In the context of colporrhaphy, it is important to take into account the different surgical strategies, increasingly less invasive, with site-specific corrections that allow repair of the anatomical defect, disappearance of symptoms, reducing the risk and probability of recurrence.
