[Surgical treatment of genital prolapse by vesicovaginal interposition of the myometrium].
The authors propose a new technique for the surgical treatment of uterine prolapse. The technique consists of placing the myometrium between the bladder and the vagina after amputation of the cervix uteri and total excision of the endometrium. The bladder is then supported by a strong and well vascularized muscular tissue. Anterior transposition of the cervical pedicles and fixation of the myometrium to the anterior vagina ensure that the fitting is solid and in the correct direction. These modifications of the old technique of vesico-vaginal uterine interposition suppress the drawbacks which have gradually led to the rejection of the Wertheim-Schauta operation.
