Dynamic correction of intractable vaginal prolapse.
Recurrent vaginal prolapse can be very difficult to correct by simple methods. This is especially true when adequate muscle support is lacking. Scar tissues will simply not support the vagina under constant pressure, and the prolapse recurs. A new technique of diminishing vaginal size, correcting the prolapse, and then supporting the vaginal wall dynamically with both innervated gracilis muscles is described with a successful two-year follow-up.
