The new laparoscopic uterine sling suspension procedure: First year follow-up data

Abstract

Ideally, any uterine conservation procedure for the treatment of prolapse should be effective, and yet, not significantly jeopardise subsequent surgery should a hysterectomy become a necessity in the future. We present our 1-year data on the new laparoscopic uterine sling suspension procedure. We have found significant anatomical improvements in points C and D on the pelvic organ prolapse quantification score, and improvements in vaginal, sexual and quality of life scores. We conclude that this technique is a promising new surgical method for treating uterine prolapse. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
