title: Laparoscopic uterine suspension.
abstract: Laparoscopic uterine suspension is an effective method of correcting symptomatic uterine retroversion. Eighty patients with deep dyspareunia reproduced by palpation of their retroverted uterus underwent a modified Gilliam uterine suspension under laparoscopic visualization. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications requiring laparotomy, and symptoms were relieved in 74 patients.
